Lectin Based Hemagglutination Assay: a Screening Test for Thyroid Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Present study demonstrates the diagnostic characteristics of Pedilanthus tithymoloides, agglutinin (PTA), lectin based hemagglutination method for screening of thyroid disorders as compared with RIA as gold standard. The result estimates 90% sensitivity, 95.55% specificity and 92.63% observed agreement with RIA test in thyroid disorders. The result of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and cretinism are discussed and these results project Lectin based hemagglutination as simple, reliable, cost effective and an alternative method of choice for screening of thyroid disorders.

Backgrounds: Given the high prevalence of thyroid disorders during pregnancy and the importance of these disorders in pregnant women and studies on the relationship between thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes, still there is no consensus on effectiveness of screening all women in early pregnancy regarding thyroid dysfunction and among the international scienti...
متن کاملA rapid assay of the sialidase activity in species of the Bacteroides fragilis group by using peanut lectin hemagglutination.
In this study, a novel, simple and rapid hemagglutination assay by using a peanut lectin to detect a neuraminidase activity in strains of the Bacteroides fragilis group was developed. One hundred and fourteen species of the B. fragilis group isolated from children with and without diarrhea and 15 reference strains were evaluated. Neuraminidase production was determined by using the method above...

BACKGROUND Lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate-binding proteins exhibiting numerous biological activities and functions. METHODS Two-step serial carbohydrate affinity chromatography was used to isolate a lectin from the edible mushroom clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis). It was characterized biochemically, its gene and cDNA cloned and the deduced amino acid sequence analyzed. Its ac...

Lectin activities and chemical characteristics of Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. originating from the porcine cecal mucosal layer were studied based on hemagglutination assay (HA) and hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA). Although all the bacterial strains were able to agglutinate erythrocytes of porcine or rabbit origin, much higher HA titers were consistently...

Membrane fractions from seedlings of four soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] lines were examined by radioimmunoassay and hemagglutination assay for the 120,000 dalton soybean lectin. Two of the lines (Sooty and T-102) are genotypically lele and lack buffer-soluble soybean lectin; the remaining two lines (Beeson and Harosoy 63) are Le and produce seeds that contain the lectin (Su et al. 1980 Bioch...
