Antibody Testing for Chlamydia psittaci using a rapid ELISA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Immunocomb (IC) ELISA test and immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy were compared on their ability to diagnose Chlamydia psittaci infection. Birds with and without clinical signs suggestive of chlamydiosis were tested. Although both test methods can detect infection by C. psittaci, the IC test is more convenient and provides the benefit of "on site" laboratory testing.

Evaluation of a recombinant enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting Chlamydophila psittaci antibodies in turkey sera.
Chlamydophila psittaci (formerly Chlamydia psittaci) is one of the major pathogens associated with turkey respiratory disease. Devastating outbreaks with high mortality rates, similar to those of 1950 to 1970 in the USA occasionally occur, but respiratory signs without or with low mortality mostly characterize outbreaks now a day. Accurate diagnostic methods should be made available. The presen...
متن کاملDetection of Chlamydia psittaci by immunofluorescence.
A direct fluorescent-antibody (FA) test was developed to detect Chlamydia psittaci in dural impressions from specimen-inoculated mice. Technical procedures for the test were compared. C. psittaci was found in mice after infection as early by the FA technique as it was by cytochemical staining methods usually used. The lymphogranuloma venereum organism was also stained by conjugated antibody to ...
متن کاملUse of synthetic antigens improves detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of antibodies against abortigenic Chlamydia psittaci in ruminants.
Synthetic peptide antigens were prepared for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) to detect serum antibodies against abortigenic strains of Chlamydia psittaci in livestock. Peptide antigens were identified with C. psittaci B577-immune sera by solid-phase scanning of overlapping octapeptides of variable domains (VDs) of the major outer membrane protein of C. psittaci serovar 1 (omp...

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Chlamydia serology as a screening test for tubal infertility and to compare the results with hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopic findings. MaterialsAndMethods This was a cross-sectional study undertaken on 110 infertile women treated in the IVF Ward, at Emam Khomeini Hospital, Sari, Iran who underwent laparoscopy and H...
متن کاملThe role of chlamydia genus-specific and species-specific IgG antibody testing in predicting tubal disease in subfertile women.
BACKGROUND We evaluated whether measuring chlamydia genus- and species-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies might improve the predictive value of C. trachomatis antibody testing (CAT) in screening for distal tubal pathology (DTP). METHODS Serum of 313 subfertile women was tested for the presence of species-specific antibodies to C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae and C. psittaci and genus-spe...
