A B S T R C TELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a technique used to assessthe quantification of peptide, protein, antibody and hormone levels, basedon the principle antigen-antibody binding. In ELISA technique, antigenimmobilization will be carried out on solid surface, then bound withantibodies form an bond complex, where complex enzyme. The detection signal in formof color change fo...

total igm, iga, and igm-rheumatoid factor (rf) and iga-rf were quantitated in the serum and synovial fluid of 35 seropositive and 8 seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (ra) patients, using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of three seropositive patients were also stimulated in vitro with phorbol myristate ace...

This paper was my first as a graduate student of Professor Peter Perlmann at Stockholm University. At the time, RIAs were in full bloom, but they were too sophisticated for many areas of research and diagnosis because they required expensive e...

The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...
