Simplified radioimmunoassay for diagnostic serology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simplified, indirect radioimmunoassay is described for Escherichia coli, vaccinia virus, and herpesvirus. The antigens were affixed to glass cover slips; thus both the primary and secondary reactions take place on the cover slips, and the unbound antiserum is easily separated from the bound antiserum by rinsing. Rabbit or human immune sera were reacted with the antigens, and the primary immune complex was quantitated by a secondary reaction with (125)I-indicator globulin (anti-rabbit or anti-human). A direct relationship between the antiserum concentration and the (125)I absorption was established. Variations in titers were detectable, and the titers were comparable to complement fixation titers. Homologous and heterologous reactions were distinguishable. The method affords an objective, quantitative, and qualitative evaluation of antibody, and results are reproducible.

Methodological aspects of Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan serology: comparisons between solid-phase radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
In the present studies we compared the ability of two commonly used assays, solid-phase radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), to detect human antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan. ELISA was superior, with a reproducibility of 12.0%, as compared with 18.1% in solid-phase radioimmunoassay. Much lower serum dilutions could be used in ELISA. We also studied th...
متن کاملSimplification of urinary aldosterone measurement by radioimmunoassay.
An anti-aldosterone serum has been used to measure urinary aldosterone concentration. A single stage of paper chromatography provides an extract of sufficient purity. Further purification by additional chromatography in a different solvent system only improves the purity by 3% +/- 8 (SD). Blanks are negligible and recovery of added aldosterone is 104% +/- 10 (SD).A simplified rapid screening as...

As COVID-19 was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, it is an emerging need to discuss different aspects of this pandemic. In any pandemic, valid and rapid laboratory diagnostic tests are critically important for early diagnosis, which will increase the rate of successful treatment and more importantly prevent the spread of the disease.
