Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for cholera-related enterotoxins in Salmonella typhimurium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rapid competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to screen Salmonella typhimurium strains for cholera-related enterotoxin antigens. Polymyxin B extracts of bacterial cells from syncase-glucose broth cultures of 7 of 15 strains gave positive results. The specificity of the test was confirmed with known heat-labile-enterotoxin-positive and -negative Escherichia coli strains which gave significantly different values.

Rapid visual detection of Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae Heat-labile enterotoxins by nitrocellulose enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
A modification of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for a sensitive and rapid visual detection of heat-labile enterotoxins from Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae is described. Small amounts of bacterial supernatant fluids are bound to nitrocellulose filters which are used as sorbents in the nitrocellulose enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The test is based on the immunological similarit...
متن کاملAvirulant Salmonella typhimurium strains prevent food allergy in mice.
Oral tolerance to foods can be regulated by microorganisms in the gut lumen. We hypothesized that pretreatment with avirulent Salmonella typhimurium strains could prevent food allergy in mice. Mice were administered S. typhimurium PhoPc (STPhoPc) or S. typhimurium AroA prior to oral sensitization to beta-lactoglobulin in the presence of cholera toxin. An oral antigen challenge after sensitizati...
متن کاملExpression of an antigen in strains of Salmonella typhimurium which reacts with antibodies to cholera toxin.
Six strains of Salmonella typhimurium (W118, TML, SL1027, LT7, M206 and Thax 1) of different virulence were examined for the presence of antigens which react with antibodies to cholera toxin (anti-CT). A fluorescent-antibody-labelling technique employing anti-CT was used to analyse antigen expression. A rapid increase in the proportion of cells producing a CT-related antigen was demonstrated in...

A microtitration plate, antibody-capture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for detection of Salmonella typhimurium. The assay utilizes a monoclonal detector antibody which shows no cross-reactions with non-Salmonella species and only a slight cross-reaction with one other Salmonella serotype. By using only one cultural stage (in a nonselective, chemically defined medium) prior to...
متن کاملLandscape phage probes for Salmonella typhimurium.
We selected from landscape phage library probes that bind preferentially Salmonella typhimurium cells compared with other Enterobacteriaceae. The specificity of the phage probes for S. typhimurium was analyzed by the phage-capture test, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the precipitation test. Interaction of representative probes with S. typhimurium was characterized by fluores...
