Optimization of cellular ELISA for assay of surface antigens on human synoviocytes.

چکیده
The cellular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CELISA) permits assay of cell surface antigens on intact fixed cells. Using a monolayer of cells as the solid phase, the CELISA offers an inexpensive alternative to flow cytometry. In addition, this protocol has the decided advantages of miniaturization (small numbers of cells) and ease of replication (the 96-well cluster plate format). In efforts to optimize CELISA for detecting surface antigens on human fibroblastlike synoviocytes, the authors found that cell number, serum proteins, choice of culture plate, pipetting technique and fixatives may all impact the results of the CELISA.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive, age-associated disease that is characterized with cartilage destruction, subchondral bone remodeling and inflammation of the synovial membrane. Considering the complications of common treatments of OA, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, investigating new treatments for this disorder is crucial. Recently,...

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...

Background: Hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. Serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of E. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. Therefore, WHO recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic disease caused by leishmania species. Dogs are considered to be the main reservoir of VL. A number of methods and antigen-based assays are used for the diagnosis of leishmaniasis. However, currently available methods are mainly based on direct examination of tissues for the presence of parasites, which is highly invasive. A variety of serological tests ...
