Two competitive enzyme immunoassays for the detection of IgG class antibodies to hepatitis A antigen.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two competitive enzyme immunoassays (EIA) techniques were developed: in the first (COMP-1), test sera were added together with HAV antigen on anti-HAV IgG-coated wells followed by an anti-HAV HRP conjugate; in the second (COMP-2), test sera and anti-HAV HRP conjugate competed for HAV epitopes previously adsorbed to anti-HAV IgG-coated wells. Both procedures used tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a substrate. Both competitive tests were shown to be reproducible and suitable for routine diagnosis and research purposes.

Prevalence of anti-HBc in HBsAg negative blood donors using two enzyme immunoassays kits
Abstract Background and Objectives Use of kits with high sensitivity and specificity to determine the prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis B virus (anti-HBc) core antigen is important. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B virus antibody in HBsAg negative blood donors using two anti-HBc enzyme immunoassay kits (DIA.PRO and SIEMENS). Materials and Methods...
متن کاملDistribution of I-125-IgG in normal and induced inflammation in mice [Persian]
Antibodies are a diverse class of glycoproteins that specially bind with antigen and elicit a number of secondary responses in vivo. Most of the applications of antibodies in basic research diagnosis and immunotherapy rely on labeling of the antibody with radiopharmaceuticals. Radiolabeled antibodies are a new class of imaging agents for the detection of sites of disease. True biodistribu...

Background and Aim: The affinity of an antibody with its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and carrying out immunologic tests such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunohistochemistry. This study was done in our laboratory at Tarbiat Modarres University to measure the affinity constant of specific monoclonal antibodies/MAB (A1G8F7) with alkaline phosphatase enzyme produced...

Background: Detection of hepatitis C virus specific antibodies is the initial step in chronic HCV diagnosis. HCV NS4B is among the most immunogenic HCV antigens and has been widely used in commercial Enzyme Immunoassays (EIA). Additionally, NS4B, a key protein in the virus replication, can be an alternative target for antiviral therapy. Objectives: Development of a new method for high-level ex...
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to hepatitis E virus by class capture enzyme immunoassay.
The measurement of antibodies to hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV) has been essential for understanding the epidemiology of hepatitis E. Studies to determine the prevalence of HEV infections require a reliable serologic assay that is sensitive and specific. It is also important to distinguish the acute from the convalescent phase of an infection; this usually requires the detection of the immunoglob...
