The application of monoclonal antibody methodology as a tool for serotyping leptospira isolates in Cuba.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using the monoclonal antibodies methodology we have classified Cuban serovars of leptospires isolated from blood culture of confirmed leptospirosis patients. The serogroups Pomona and Canicola were the most predominant found in our study. Pomona, Mozdok and Canicola serovars were the most prevalent types in these serogroups. Our study has essentially presented a validation of a monoclonal antibody method for the serotyping of Cuban leptospire isolates.

Analysis of multilocus sequence typing for identification of Leptospira isolates in Brazil.
A collection of 101 Leptospira isolates was tested by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and by traditional serotyping. MLST divided the isolates into 4 sequence types (STs), while serotyping classified them into 6 serogroups. Two isolates failed to generate products for some genes by MLST. MLST was less discriminatory than serotyping for uncommonly occurring isolates from humans in Brazil.
متن کاملRapid immunotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis with monoclonal antibodies in a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay.
The technical complexity of determining the serovar of Chlamydia trachomatis strains has limited the use of serotyping in clinical and epidemiologic studies. We developed a simple method for rapidly serotyping isolates of C. trachomatis by using monoclonal antibodies in a dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. Isolates were passaged three to six times in shell vial cultures to gr...

متن کاملProduction of monoclonal antibody against recombinant NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (NADL strain)
Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....
