Preparation of Biotin-labelled Toxoplasma Antigen
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for the simple preparation ofbiotin-labelled toxoplasma antigen was used with avidin peroxidase in an IgM-capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (BAM-ELISA). Although the overall predictive value ofa positive result was only 38%, its low-cost and 100% sensitivity makes it a very suitable screening test. Positive results can be confirmed by an alternative assay, thus providing a more economical and effective diagnostic service than either screening all sera by a commercial test or selecting sera for IgM testing.

Immunocytochemistry, the identification of cell- or tissue-bound antigens in situ, by means of a specific antibody-antigen reaction, tagged microscopically by a visible label, has a remarkably wide range of applications. The basic techniques are straightforward and can be adapted to explore the localisation of virtually any molecule of interest to the researcher in samples of normal and/or mali...

Introduction: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is one of the most sensitive markers for diagnosis of prostate cancer. Immunoradiometric kit (IRMA) is a common and sensitive method for determination of PSA in clinical laboratories. This kit has four major components: solid phase coated with monocolonal antibody, pair antibody labelled with I-125, series of standards i...

Toxoplasma gondii is a small organism which ordinarily is difficult to identify in tissue sections unless it occurs in clusters known as pseudocysts. A staining method specific for the organism would therefore be of value in the microscopic study of lesions suspected of being caused by this species. Since fluorescein-labelled antibody can be used to stain homologous organisms specifically (refe...

The sensitivity and specificity of two non-radioactive spot hybridization assays for hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA) using biotin and digoxygenin-labelled DNA probes were investigated in parallel in 122 serum samples from patients with chronic hepatitis B and 50 controls. The results were compared with an isotopic technique using a 32P-labelled probe. HBV-DNA was detected in 56 (80%) out of 70 ...
