comparison of dot-elisa and sandwich elisa diagnostic tests in detection of human hydatidosis
Authors
abstract
hydatidosis, caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is one of the most important zoonosis with worldwide distribution. as its diagnosis by clinical symptoms and scanning alone is difficult and confusing, we designed the present study to achieve a sensitive and simple diagnostic method for epidemiological studies. sera (250 samples) were collected from 90 cases of hydatidosis proven by surgical operation, 80 patients with diseases other than hydatidosis and 80 healthy cases. the antigen (ag) used was a crude hydatid fluid ag obtained from lung and liver cycts of sheep slaughtered in tehran abattoir (iran). the result of dot-elisa showed 100% sensitivity and 98.75% specificity . positive and negative predictive values were 97.82% and 100% respectively. in the case of sandwich elisa, the results were as follows: 92.22% sensitivity, 98.75% specificity, positive and negative predictive values: 97.64% and 95.75 %, respectively. in both techniques, cross reaction with fasciolosis was observed for two cases. in conclusion, although these two tests had very similar results, dot-elisa was more acceptable with respect to its higher sensitivity and simplicity in practice

Definitive diagnosis of brucellosis is made by isolation of the causative agents, which is a timeconsumingprocedure. To evaluate the efficacy of Dot-ELISA for detecting brucellae in clinical samples, 94different specimens taken from animal origin were cultured on brucella selective culture media and colonieswere identified biochemically. The specimens were also examined after centrifugation by ...
full textComparative sensitivity of six serological tests and diagnostic value of ELISA using purified antigen in hydatidosis.
Most serodiagnostic techniques have been evaluated for diagnosis of cystic hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Each, to varying degrees, has been shown to give false results, with considerable variation between laboratories. The comparative study was made concerning the sensitivity of the immunodiagnostic methods based on 58 sera from hydatid disease with different cyst locations...

در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
Optimization of PCR-ELISA in Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
Abstract Background and Objective: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of congenital viral infection that can lead to serious diseases and complications in infants. Application of rapid, sensitive, and specific HCMV detection methods is necessary for congenital infection detection. We aimed to optimize the use of PCR and ELISA for detection of HCMV in infants. Material and Methods...
