Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection and quantitation of capsular antigen of Haemophilus influenzae type b.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to detect the presence of the ribose-ribitol phosphate capsular antigen of Haemophilus influenzae type b in laboratory and clinical specimens. The assay is simple, sensitive, specific, and quantitative and should prove to be of value in the diagnosis and management of H. influenzae infections.

A study on Haemophilus influenzae type b growth rate and capsule production in different media
In the present study, seven isolates of Haemophilus influenzae type b were cultured in four different media to compare growth rate and capsule production. Four liquid media namely brain heart infusion broth (BHI), trypticase soy broth (TSB), Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB) and Gonococci broth (GC) with added supplements (1% hemoglobin, 1% Isovitalex) were used. The growth was measured by colony coun...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is described for detection of anti-capsular antibodies against Haemophilus influenzae type b. Polyribosephosphate was covalently bonded to poly-L-lysine before adsorption to microtiter plates. ELISA immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M anti-polyribosephosphate antibody titers were comparable to total anti-polyribosephosphate antibody concentration d...
متن کاملIndirect sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rapid detection of Haemophilus influenzae type b infection.
We report the development and testing of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with excellent sensitivity for the detection of Haemophilus influenzae type b (HI(b)) antigen in clinical specimens from patients with HI(b) meningitis. The assay, an indirect sandwich technique, uses polystyrene balls as a solid phase and an alkaline phosphatase-labeled goat anti-rabbit globulin conjugate. Specimens ...

The antibody response to Haemophilus influenzae type b antigens as capsular polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide, and outer membrane components was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 10 adults infected with this bacterium. Almost all patients had detectable amounts of immunoglobulins G and M antibodies specific to capsular polysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide, or outer membrane in thei...

The development of total immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and antibodies of the four IgG subclasses in serum against Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide (CPS) was studied in 24 children and 11 adults with invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b infections, by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. None of the 8 children aged 10 months or younger had increases in the IgG c...
