there are many studies related to the production of a elisa kit for diagnosing virus infections. however, production of most kits depends on purification of whole virus particles, which involves the use of costly equipment and reagents. the purpose of this study was to check out if the anti-cp42 antibodies could be used as a diagnostic assay for detection of grapevine fanleaf virus (gflv). in t...

diagnosis of toxoplasma gondii (t.gondii) infection is of great medical importance especially for pregnant women and immunosuppressed patients. numerous studies have shown that the recombinant production of several ttoxoplasma antigens, including dense granule antigens (gras) has a great potential as diagnostic reagents. previous studies reported expression of amino terminal gra8 protein in fus...

The objective was to compare deoxynivalenol (DON) concentrations in feed ingredients and commercial swine diets measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Seventy ingredient samples consisted of corn, corn dried distillers grains with solubles, gluten feed, meal, palm kernel expellers, rice bran, soy hulls, soybean wheat. Commercial diet...

This paper describes an electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on paper-based microfluidic devices. This paper-based immunoassay method has several advantages over conventional ELISA, such as short assay time, low cost, and high sensitivity. The limit of detection (LOD) of rabbit IgG used as a model system is ~ 3.9 fM; this value is lower than the LOD of paper-based colorimet...

CITE enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was an unacceptable screening test for failure of passive transfer because of poor sensitivity. SNAP ELISA and glutaraldehyde coagulation tests are more appropriate screening tests. Specificity of the SNAP ELISA is better than the glutaraldehyde coagulation test. A second confirmatory test should be considered when using the glutaraldehyde coagulat...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to titrate antisera raised against live cultures of eight type species (biotypes) of Bacteroides with the EDTA-released outer-membrane complex from 29 characterized strains of Bacteroides species. With only minor exceptions, the strains investigated reacted to titre with the antisera raised against the homologous type species and not against the het...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercially available reagents was compared with standard serological tests for determination of antibody titers in patients with acute measles. The measles-specific ELISA was as sensitive as complement fixation, hemagglutination inhibition, and indirect fluorescent-antibody methods. The ELISA method used was simple, sensitive, inexpensive, an...

Serum samples of 562 goats were tested for Caprine arthritis-encephalitis using agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Seventy-nine samples (14.1%) were reactive by both testes but 141 (25.1%) were reactive only by ELISA. ELISA, when compared to AGID, presented 100% sensitivity and 70.8% specificity.

A Saccharomyces cerevisiae-expressed nucleocapsid (N) polypeptide of the M41 strain of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was used as antigen in a recombinant yeast-expressed N protein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Y-N-ELISA). The Y-N-ELISA was rapid, sensitive, and specific for detecting chicken serum antibodies to IBV, and it compared favorably with a commercial ELISA.
