A sandwich format immunochromatographic assay for detecting foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes was developed. In
this rapid test, affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from Guinea pigs which were immunized with sucking-mouse adapted
FMD virus (A/AV88(L) strain) were conjugated to colloidal gold beads and used as the capture antibody, and affinity purified
polyclonal antibodies from rabbits which were immunized with cell-culture adapted FMD virus (A/CHA/09 strain) were used as
detector antibody. On the nitrocellulose membrane of the immunochromatographic strip, the capture antibody was laid on a sample
pad, the detector antibody was printed at the test line(T) and goat anti-guinea pigs IgG antibodies were immobilized to the
control line(C). The lower detection limit of the test for a FMDV 146S antigen is 11.7ng/ml as determined in serial tests
after the strip device was assembled and the assay condition optimization. No cross reactions were found with FMDV serotype
C, Swine vesicular disease (SVD), Vesicular stomatiti svirus (VSV) and vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VES) viral antigens
with this rapid test. Clinically, the diagnostic sensitivity of this test for FMDV serotypes A was 88.7% which is as same
as an indirect-sandwich ELISA. The specificity of this strip test was 98.2% and is comparable to the 98.7% obtained with indirect-sandwich
ELISA. This rapid strip test is simple, easy and fast for clinical testing on field sites; no special instruments and skills
are required, and the result can be obtained within 15 min. To our knowledge, this is the first rapid immunochromatogarpic
assay for serotype A of FMDV. 相似文献

Presently the gold standard diagnostic technique for rabies is the direct immunofluorescence assay (dFA) which is very expensive and requires a high level of expertise. There is a need for more economical and user friendly tests, particularly for use in developing countries. We have established one such test called the direct rapid immunohistochemical test (dRIT) for diagnosis of rabies using brain tissue. The test is based on capture of rabies nucleoprotein (N) antigen in brain smears using a cocktail of biotinylated monoclonal antibodies specific for the N protein and color development by streptavidin peroxidase-amino ethyl carbazole and counter staining with haematoxollin. The test was done in parallel with standard FAT dFA using 400 brain samples from different animals and humans. The rabies virus N protein appears under light microscope as reddish brown particles against a light blue background. There was 100 % correlation between the results obtained by the two tests. Also, interpretation of results by dRIT was easier and only required a light microscope. To conclude, this newly developed dRIT technique promises to be a simple, cost effective diagnostic tool for rabies and will have applicability in field conditions prevalent in developing countries. 相似文献

A rapid immunochromatographic assay kit using whole blood to screen hepatitis B surface antigen was developed and evaluated
by using sera from 240 patients. The reference diagnosis was based on the results obtained with GENEDIA Anti-HBs Rapid kit
which is very similar to the above kit except for the use of serum. The test demonstrated a good correlation with the reference
immunochromatographic assay kit, that is, the sensitivity and the specificity of the kit was 100%, respectively. The rapid
test kit using whole blood should be more convenient and useful for the diagnosis of hepatitis B virus because the kit does
not need machines and time to prepare serum. In addition, this kit is safe from inadvertent infection during sample treatment
because the blood is sterilized with hydrogen peroxide, eliminates the procedure required to prepare serum and reduces the
possibility of exposure to infectious agents. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated type I allergies affect over 25% of the world's population; they are among the most common diseases in developed countries. Therefore, simple and rapid in vivo and in vitro methods for diagnosing allergies are becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of using sulforhodamine B, a fluorescent dye, entrapped inside immunoliposomes, the outer surfaces of which were sensitized with IgE, as a signal amplifier for the development of a simple, rapid, and inexpensive colorimetric affinity chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of total IgE in serum. This assay operates based on competition between standards (or human serum samples) containing IgE and IgE-sensitized immunoliposomes for the limited number of antigen binding sites of immobilized anti-IgE antibodies at the antigen capture (AC) zone on the nitrocellulose membranes. The color density of the AC zone is indirectly proportional to the number of IgE units present in the test sample. The detection limit of this liposome-based immunoaffinity chromatographic assay was 0.37 ng in IgE-free serum solution (equivalent to 20 μL of a 18.5 ng mL−1 solution). A commercially available ELISA kit was used as a reference method to validate the proposed assay through the analysis of three human serum samples. 相似文献

A bioassay that measures the potency of the FGF-4 transgene carried by a replication incompetent adenovirus type 5, Ad5FGF-4, was developed on ARPE-19 cells. The assay is carried out in a microtiter plate format and measures cellular proliferation following infection of ARPE-19 cells with a serial dilution of Ad5FGF-4. Proliferation is measured as a percentage increase in absorbance reading in relation to a mock-infected control. Ad5LacZ and Ad5FGF-4 viruses treated similarly to the test sample are included as negative and positive controls, respectively. The increased absorbance reading resulting from infection with the virus correlates with FGF-4 production as determined by an FGF-4 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, an increase in de novo DNA synthesis as measured by BrdU incorporation, and an increase in the total cell number. The assay shows a dose-dependent response and is capable of evaluating the stability of Ad5FGF-4. A sample being tested is compared with a reference standard, and the relative potency value is obtained by a parallel line analysis of the dose-response curve of the test article in relation to the reference standard. Therefore, this procedure can be used as an in vitro efficacy-indicating assay, demonstrating that the FGF-4 transgene product carried by Ad5FGF-4 is biologically active. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (Mab)-based antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and standardised for the detection of the K99 adhesin of Escherichia coli in aqueous vaccines. A repeating epitope on the K99 antigen is first captured then detected using peroxidase-labelled antibody. The assay gave positive results with all the vaccines tested that were known to contain K99 and was specific, rapid and reproducible. 相似文献

Dogs are reservoir hosts for Trypanosoma cruzi , the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis. A rapid immunochromatographic dipstick test (ICT) is available commercially for canine serological testing. The ICT was developed with the use of sera from South American dogs, but it is not routinely used in the United States. We evaluated the utility of the ICT in detecting anti-T. cruzi antibodies in dogs from the United States. Dogs (N = 64) were experimentally infected with United States' isolates of T. cruzi from an opossum (Didelphis virginiana), an armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), and a domestic dog (Canis familiaris), and were tested after experimental infection. Sera from uninfected United States dogs (n = 79; hemaculture negative) were used as negative controls. In a blind study, sera were tested by the ICT and compared to the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test with the use of Brazil-strain epimastigotes as antigen. The sensitivity of the ICT was 91% and the specificity was 98% in dogs experimentally infected with United States isolates. Our study indicates that the ICT could be a useful screening tool for serological surveillance of canine T. cruzi exposure in the United States. 相似文献

Antigen testing is now recognized as the method of choice for detection of Wuchereria bancrofti infections. Unlike tests that detect microfilariae, antigen tests can be performed with blood collected during the day or night. However, existing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests for filarial antigenemia are difficult to perform in the field, and this has limited their use in endemic countries. In this article, Gary Weil, Patrick Lammie and Niggi Weiss review their experience with a new rapid-format filarial antigen test. They found that the ICT card test was very easy to perform and that it was comparable with ELISA for the detection of filarial antigen in sera from people with microfilaremia. The introduction now of an antigen test suitable for use in the field is especially timely, in that it may facilitate implementation of new strategies proposed by the World Health Organization for control and elimination of lymphatic filariasis. 相似文献

A new immunoassay method called specific analyte labeling and recapture assay (SALRA) to quantitatively measure protein abundance was developed, and the assay conditions were optimized. The key features of this method include labeling the antigen bound to the capture antibody, eluting the labeled antigen, and recapturing it by the same capture antibody on the detection plate. The reporter molecules on the labeled antigen provide a convenient and reliable means for signal detection. We demonstrated that the dose-response curve of SALRA was comparable to that of sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and better than that of the antigen direct labeling method. In addition, multiple proteins can be measured simultaneously by SALRA. Using the SALRA method, the detection limit for most of the cytokines tested was approximately 0.01 ng/ml. Further SALRA tests on interleukin 6 (IL-6) showed the linear dose-response was 3.3 to 0.01 ng/ml, the accuracy of the test was 71 to 91%, the intraassay variation was 3.6 to 7.4%, and the interassay variation was 3.8 to 10.0%. The applications of SALRA include quantitatively measuring proteins for which there are no ELISA tools available and providing a new platform for protein microarrays. 相似文献

The determination of the potency of human tetanus immunoglobulins by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been adapted to the quantitation of specific tetanus antibodies in commercial preparations of human immunoglobulins. The results of the assay are compared with those obtained from the same samples tested by seroneutralization tests in vivo. Statistical analysis of the data shows good correlation between the titres obtained with the two tests. Results obtained by indirect haemagglutination are also reported. It is proposed that all interested laboratories perform the described immunoenzymatic method in vitro for a given period in parallel with the in vivo test to gain sufficient experience of this technique with a view to its use as an alternative to the in vivo test. 相似文献

A rapid fluorescent antigen test (RFAT) was developed in microplates to evaluate quantitatively attenuated, live rabies vaccine, ERA strain, at different stages of vaccine manufacture. This technique is based on the principle of the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT). Several samples of bulk rabies vaccine (ERA strain) were tested in parallel using the RFAT and the mouse lethal dose 50 (M-LD50) test, the method currently used to evaluate vaccine potency. Although the two tests were found to be comparable in sensitivity the RFAT is of significant benefit in terms of simplicity and rapidity for potency evaluation during vaccine manufacture. 相似文献

Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis, one of the world's most common parasitic diseases. It secretes large amounts of dense granule antigens (TgGRAs), which are crucial to the parasite's survivability. TgGRA7 is found abundantly on the surface of host cells, within the parasitophorous vacuole lumen and membrane, and the host cell cytosol. It stimulates a strong antibody response during acute and chronic infections. While it has been well utilized as an antigen for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), only one report has documented its efficacy as an antigen for an immunochromatographic test (ICT) in pigs. To date, there is no study yet documenting its use for ICT in human toxoplasmosis. Here, we validated the efficacy of the TgGRA7-ICT we developed by testing 88 human sera. Results were compared with those obtained by ELISA based on TgGRA7, a commercial ELISA, and latex agglutination test (LAT). With high sensitivity, specificity, and kappa values, our TgGRA7-ICT results revealed very good agreement with standard test results. We also found a strong correlation between the relative ICT band intensity and absorbance values in the ELISA. Altogether, our data suggest that the current ICT with TgGRA7 is a reliable test for the diagnosis of human toxoplasmosis, which produced results similar to conventional serological methods. Thus, this can be used as a screening tool for routine testing of toxoplasmosis and a good option for point of care application. The present study also documents the first utilization of TgGRA7 as an antigen for ICT for the serodiagnosis of human toxoplasmosis. 相似文献

There is a continuing need for biosensors that can be used in the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection and to measure a subject’s immune response to the virus itself (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, grating-coupled fluorescent plasmonic (GC-FP)-based detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigens was coupled with antibody detection to yield a dual-mode detection assay. Pairs of capture and detection antibodies were screened for direct detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (Nuc) antigen, which were then combined with an existing GC-FP antibody detection assay. Nuc could be detected as low as 1 µg/mL concentrations, while antibodies were detectable to 50 ng/mL. The dual detection assay was tested by adding purified Nuc antigen to serum from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive COVID-19-infected individual. Using this sample, co-detection of Nuc antigen and anti-spike protein antibodies was successfully performed on a single GC-FP chip. Total assay time was 1 h, making this the first known example of rapid dual antibody and antigen detection on the same biosensor chip. 相似文献

Currently, dengue fever is the most important re-emerging mosquito-borne viral disease, with the major proportion of the target population residing in the developing countries of the world. In endemic areas, potentially fatal secondary dengue infections, characterized by high anti-dengue IgG antibody titers, are most common. Most currently available commercial dengue diagnostic kits rely on the use of whole virus antigens and are consequently associated with false positives due to serologic cross-reactivity, high cost of antigen production, and biohazard risk. This has prompted the need to develop an alternate antigen to replace the whole virus antigen in diagnostic tests. We have designed and expressed a novel recombinant protein antigen by assembling key immunodominant linear IgG-specific dengue virus epitopes, chosen on the basis of pepscan analysis, phage display, and computer predictions. The recombinant dengue multiepitope protein was expressed to high levels in Escherichia coli, purified in a single step, yielding >25 mg pure protein per liter culture. We developed an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect anti-dengue antibodies in a panel of 20 patient sera using the purified recombinant dengue multiepitope protein as the capture antigen. The ELISA results were in excellent agreement with those obtained using a commercially available diagnostic test, Dengue Duo rapid strip test from PanBio, Australia. The high epitope density, careful choice of epitopes, and the use of E. coli system for expression, coupled to simple purification, jointly have the potential to lead to the development of an inexpensive diagnostic test with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. 相似文献

A multicenter survey was performed to evaluate a new semi-automated human immunodeficiency virus fourth generation antibodies and antigen simultaneous assay. This assay showed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99.6% among sera obtained from hospitalized patients or blood donors. Sera obtained from commercially available as well as in-house seroconversions were tested showing that HIV DUO is able to reveal an infected state in 11 out of 14 cases earlier than conventional tests. This new assay improves old test performances in terms of sensitivity, maintaining specificity at very high levels. 相似文献

To determine which species and populations of Anopheles transmit malaria in any given situation, immunological assays for malaria sporozoite antigen can replace traditional microscopical examination of freshly dissected Anopheles. We developed a wicking assay for use with mosquitoes that identifies the presence or absence of specific peptide epitopes of circumsporozoite (CS) protein of Plasmodium falciparum and two strains of Plasmodium vivax (variants 210 and 247). The resulting assay (VecTest Malaria) is a rapid, one-step procedure using a 'dipstick' test strip capable of detecting and distinguishing between P. falciparum and P. vivax infections in mosquitoes. The objective of the present study was to test the efficacy, sensitivity, stability and field-user acceptability of this wicking dipstick assay. In collaboration with 16 test centres world-wide, we evaluated more than 40 000 units of this assay, comparing it to the standard CS ELISA. The 'VecTest Malaria' was found to show 92% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity, with 97.8% accuracy overall. In accelerated storage tests, the dipsticks remained stable for > 15 weeks in dry conditions up to 45 degrees C and in humid conditions up to 37 degrees C. Evidently, this quick and easy dipstick test performs at an acceptable level of reliability and offers practical advantages for field workers needing to make rapid surveys of malaria vectors. 相似文献

We tested a new radiometric assay (Hépatube Wellcome) using a complete automatic device, in hepatitis B surface antigen detection with I 125 marked antibody. The additional advantage of this reagent is its very long life-span (twelve weeks after the date of manufacture). The hepatube system is fully automatic, micro processor-controlled and designed to complete all washing and tracer addition steps in the hepatube test sequence after addition of the patient's sample. The results were compared in the same protocol with those obtained by the method currently used in our group (Ausria II 125). This study has been carried out on 7.589 sera or plasma samples; blood donors 5.352; medical and chirurgical patients 1.292; sera panel 87; repeated tests 367; positives and negatives control sera 421; assays ran the first day 70 The 153 positive results (2.3%) were confirmed by another assay before neutralisation. The sensitivity of both techniques was compared using a reference panel containing samples showing varying degrees of positivity, and representative of both main subtypes. We repeated the assay on this panel 2 months after issue of materials and again 3 months later. This new system is more sensitive than Ausria II 125. Of 6 644 patients the false positive was found in 1,1% of the cases, this was superior to the results found with Ausria II 125 but there is no false negative with this new method. There was no difference when serum or plasma was used. 相似文献

To reduce human exposure to Salmonella spp. in poultry products, broiler chicken flocks have been tested by culture methods. Since the standard techniques may take 3 to 5 days, rapid detection methods have been developed. In this study we tested the performance of three rapid tests originally developed for food samples by using environmental samples obtained from poultry houses. These rapid tests were Reveal, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from Neogen Corp.; BIND, a bacterial ice nucleation detection method from Idetek Corp.; and a filter monitor method from Future Medical Technologies, Inc. For the standard culture, brilliant green with novabiocin and xylose-lysine-tergitol-4 agar were used for presumptive identification, and identities were confirmed by using poly-O antisera. Environmental samples were collected from farms belonging to an integrated poultry company prior to chick placement and 1 week before slaughter. Sensitivities, specificities, and predictive values with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Statistical differences were determined by using McNemar's chi square test. The sensitivities of the different tests were not stable, varying widely between sample times, and were affected by freezing of the samples. All of the rapid tests had low sensitivities, which led to many false-negative results. All tests were able to detect Salmonella spp. at a concentration of 10 CFU/ml in at least one of four trials. The BIND and Reveal tests were simple to use with multiple samples and reduced laboratory time by up to 1 day. Based on our results, we do not recommend that any of these rapid tests, in their present state of development, be utilized with environmental samples collected with drag swabs. 相似文献

BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a life-threatening disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania donovani complex. Early case detection followed by adequate treatment is essential to the control of VL. However, the available diagnostic tests are either invasive and require considerable expertise (parasitological demonstration of the parasite in tissue smears) or unable to distinguish between past and active infection (serological methods). Therefore, we aimed to develop a lateral flow assay in the form of an immunochromatographic test (ICT) device based on the detection of a circulating Leishmania antigen using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).Conclusion/SignificanceThe newly developed ICT is an easy to use and more accurate diagnostic tool which fulfils the performance and operational characteristics required for VL case detection under field and laboratory conditions. As our ICT detects a circulating antigen, it will also be useful in monitoring treatment success and diagnosing VL in immunocompromised patients. 相似文献

BackgroundRapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests are potentially useful tools for screening carriers with high viral load. This study was aimed to assess the potential association between viral load and positivization time of a manual SARS-CoV-2 commercial antigen test in routine nasopharyngeal specimens.MethodsIn a sample of subjects undergoing routine diagnostic testing, SARS-CoV-2 positivity of nasopharyngeal samples was assayed with both molecular (Altona Diagnostics RealStar SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit) and antigenic (Roche SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test) tests. Positivization time of rapid antigen test was correlated and compared with viral load expressed as mean of SARS-CoV2 E/S genes cycle threshold (Ct) values.ResultsThe study sample consisted of 106 patients (median age 48 years, 55 women) with positive results of rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing. A highly significant Spearman''s correlation was found between mean SARSCoV-2 E/S genes Ct values and positivization time of manual antigen test (r= 0.70; p<0.001). The positivization time of rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen test displayed an area under the curve of 0.82 (95%CI, 0.74-0.89) for predicting nasopharyngeal samples with high viral load (i.e., mean Ct <20). A positivization time cut-off of 32 SEC had 94.9% sensitivity and 58.2% specificity for detecting specimens with high viral load. The overall agreement between mean Ct value <20 and positivization time <32 SEC was 70.8%.ConclusionsPositivization time of rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests may provide easy and rapid information on viral load, thus making this type of manual assay potentially suitable for quick and reliable detection and isolation of supercarriers. 相似文献
