Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) is a ubiquitous pathogen. Other than known diseases, HSV-1 may have an important role in the pathogenesis of atopy by causing immortality of th2 cells. From June 1st to July 31st 2006, seventy five blood samples were collected from atopic children referred to the allergy clinic of the hospital. The bloods samples were used to detect HSV-1 IgG antibodies by En...

A simple solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure for the detection of human antibodies to Entamoeba histolytica was developed which showed a high degree of correlation with the agar gel diffusion, counterelectrophoresis, and indirect hemagglutination methods, as well as with clinical data. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is rapid (1 h 15 min, total incubation time), and th...

Monoclonal antibodies from four clones (C5, C3, B2II, and B2I) directed against staphylococcal enterotoxin A were tested by the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and double-gel immunodiffusion (micro-Ouchterlony) assay for the nature of heavy and light chain types. The reactivities of monoclonal antibodies were also tested by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with various leve...

Type2 Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and most common form of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia arising from problems with the utilization or production insulin. Various agents related to an increased risk developing T2DM include pro-inflammatory cytokines that are critically associated progressive resistance insulin pathogenesis newly diagnosed T2DM. The study aimed possible association T...

We have established an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay suitable for routine monitoring of serum levels of sotalol. Anti-sotalol antibody was obtained by immunizing rabbits with sotalol conjugated with bovine serum albumin using the N-succinimidyl ester method. An enzyme marker was similarly prepared by coupling sotalol with beta-D-galactosidase. The detection limit of sotalol by the enzyme-li...
