A dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) using antigens purified by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography was developed for detecting Trichinella spiralis infection in swine. The test was as sensitive as an ELISA using excretory-secretory products as antigen and western blot analysis, and nearly as specific as the western blot. The dot-ELISA detected all of 20 low infections (0.08-4.74 larvae per gram of diaphragm), most of them by 5-6 wk postinfection. Sera from 1,960 farm-reared swine were tested by conventional ELISA, dot-ELISA, and western blot. Of the 1,960 sera, 262 (13.4%) were considered positive on conventional ELISA, 16 (0.82%) by dot-ELISA, and 15 (0.77%) by western blot. The improved specificity was achieved by employing species-specific denatured antigens. More importantly, the dot-ELISA was much simpler to perform than western blot analysis. The principles employed in this test can be adapted to other infectious diseases, such as AIDS. 相似文献

Dot-ELISA, a technique that shares the same principles as the enzyme immunoassay, is useful for detection of anti-Schistosoma mansoni antibodies in the sera of patients with Schistosoma mansoni infections. The antigens were fixed to the nitrocellulose strips, blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin in 0.05% Tween 20. Patient sera (40) and normal laboratory personnel sera (9) were applied to the sheet directly, without cutting the strips into small discs. The nitrocellulose sheets are kept in a humid chamber for 30 min and then washed. After incubation with peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-human antibody, washing, and addition of substrate, positive reactions appear as brown dots against the white background. The room temperature assay takes about 2 hr. The optimum antigen concentration is 20-80 ng per dot and the optimum serum dilution is 1:100-1:400. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay are 90-95% and 90%, respectively. The level of positivity of the dot-ELISA by an arbitrary scale compares with standard micro-ELISA. The single positive reaction in a normal serum sample in dot-ELISA is also positive in micro-ELISA. Cross-reactivity between the S. mansoni antigen and human fascioliasis sera was noticed in 2 out of 8 patient sera. Good correlation between the arbitrary level of dot-ELISA and the absorbance of standardized micro-ELISA shows that the dot-ELISA is useful both for laboratory and field studies. 相似文献

A dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) was standardized using excretory-secretory antigens of Toxocara canis for the rapid immunodiagnosis of human toxocariasis. Thirty patients with clinical signs of toxocariasis, 20 cases with other parasitic diseases, and 40 healthy subjects were tested. A total of 0.2 ng of antigen per dot, serum dilution of 1:160 and dilution conjugate of 1:1000 were found optimal. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 100 and 95%, respectively. Comparable sensitivity of dot-ELISA and the standard ELISA was obtained, but only 3 cross-reactions occurred in the dot-ELISA, compared with 6 in the standard ELISA. Dot-ELISA is simple to perform, rapid, and low cost. Large-scale screening studies should be done to evaluate its usefulness under field conditions. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to evaluate a dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) using excretory-secretory antigens from the larval stages of Toxocara canis for the diagnosis of toxocariasis. A secondary aim was to establish the optimal conditions for its use in an area with a high prevalence of human T. canis infection. The dot-ELISA test was standardised using different concentrations of the antigen fixed on nitrocellulose paper strips and increasing dilutions of the serum and conjugate. Both the dot-ELISA and standard ELISA methods were tested in parallel with the same batch of sera from controls and from individuals living in the problem area. The best results were obtained with 1.33 μg/mL of antigen, dilutions of 1/80 for the samples and controls and a dilution of 1/5,000 for the anti-human IgG-peroxidase conjugate. All steps of the procedure were performed at room temperature. The coincidence between ELISA and dot-ELISA was 85% and the kappa index was 0.72. The dot-ELISA test described here is rapid, easy to perform and does not require expensive equipment. Thus, this test is suitable for the serological diagnosis of human T. canis infection in field surveys and in the primary health care centres of endemic regions. 相似文献

Dacron (polyethylenetherephthalate) is proposed as a matrix for dot-ELISA procedures, as an alternative to nitrocellulose. Plates of dacron were partially hydrazinolyzed and hydrazide groups introduced were converted to azide groups. The derivative dacron-antigen was covalently linked on to the plates through these azide groups. The derivative dacron-antigen was exaustively washed according to CROOK and antigen was still fixed onto the plates. Protein F1A purified from Yersinia pestis was used as a model. Titration of sera from immunized and non immunized rabbits against this protein was carried out by employing the dot-ELISA method. No significant difference was observed using dacron-antigen and nitrocellulose-antigen preparations. However, both procedures showed to have a significant better performance in comparison with the passive hemagglutination method. The specificity and reproductibility of the dot-ELISA assay using both preparations showed a similar behaviour. Nitrocellulose preparation was stable at 4 degrees C, 28 degrees C and -20 degrees C for 90 days, whereas the dacron-antigen derivative was stable only when stored at 4 degrees C. Dacron-antigen derivative could be re-used when the spot developing was proceeded using 4-chloro-1-naphtol as substrate. 相似文献

Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) produced by community acquired methicillin Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) involved in skin and soft-tissue infections and necrotizing pneumonia comprised of two fractions, namely PVL S and PVL F. In the present study, three monoclonal antibodies designated as MAb1, MAb9 and MAb10 were generated against recombinant PVL-S (35 kDa) protein of S. aureus. All the three MAbs specifically reacted to confirm PVL-S positive strains of S. aureus recovered from clinical samples in Western blot analysis. Similarly all the three MAbs did not show any binding to other tested 14 different pathogenic bacteria belonging to other genera and species in Western blot analysis. Furthermore, a simple dot-ELISA method was standardized for the identification of PVL-S toxin containing S. aureus strains. Initially in dot-ELISA, Protein A (Spa) of S. aureus posed background noise problems due to the non-specific binding of antibodies resulting in false positive reactions. With the addition of 10 mM diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) along with 5% milk in PBS in the blocking step prevented this non-specific binding of Spa to mouse anti-PVL monoclonal antibodies in dot-ELISA. Once standardized, this simple dot-ELISA was evaluated with nine PVL positive strains recovered from food, environmental and clinical samples and the results were compared with PCR assay for the presence of PVL toxin genes and also with Western blot analysis. A 100% correlation was found between dot-ELISA, PCR assay and Western blot analysis. Collectively our results suggest the newly developed simple dot-ELISA system can be of immense help in providing, rapid detection of the PVL toxin containing S. aureus strains at a relatively low cost and will be a valuable tool for the reliable identification of CA-MRSA. 相似文献

A new serological assay dot-dye-immunoassay (dot-DIA) was evaluated for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni. This method consist of four steps: (a) biding of antigens to a nitrocellulose membrane (NC); (b) blocking of free sites of the NC; (c) incubation in specific primary antibody; (d) detection of primary antibody reactivity by color development using second antibody coupled to textile dyes. Sera from 82 individuals, 61 with Schistosoma mansoni eggs in the stool and 21 stool negative were tested by ELISA, dot-ELISA, and dot-DIA. A high level of agreement between the methods tested was observed for all sera tested: ELISA x dot-ELISA: 95.1%, ELISA x dot-DIA: 92.7% and dot-ELISA x dot-DIA: 97.6%. In this study, dot-DIA proved to be a feasible, sensitive, rapid and practical test for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis. 相似文献

An indirect competitive inhibition type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for the detection of
aflatoxin B1, in poultry sera. Preincubation of aflatoxin B1, samples with the antibody prior to competition yielded better results in terms of higher sensitivity. After competition,
amount of antibody bound to solid phase was measured by incubation with anti-rabbit immunoglobulins coupled with horse raddish
peroxidase. Intensity of colour decreased as the amount of free aflatoxin B1, increased. Final detection of aflatoxin B1, was made by (i) visual comparison with standard aflatoxin B1 using dot-ELISA (qualitative) and (ii) by plate-ELISA, where optical density was measured at 492 nm (quantitative). Plate-ELISA
was more sensitive than dot-ELISA, with sensitivity limits being 100 fg and 1 pg per 10 μl, respectively. However, due to
ease and speed of performance, dot-ELISA has greater potential as a test for the diagnosis of mycotoxicosis at the field level. 相似文献

A portable optoelectronic reflectometric photocolorimeter was designed. The photocolorimeter implements two operating modes (transmission and reflection), and its performance was tested in two systems of testosterone immunoenzyme assay: microplate ELISA and membrane dot-ELISA. The detection threshold for microplate ELISA and membrane dot-ELISA was 0.1 and 0.6 ng/ml, respectively. The coefficient of correlation between the photocolorimeter readings and conventional photometric methods is r = 0.999. Relative standard deviation of the results of photocolorimetric measurements (n = 4) within the optical density range from 0.03 to 1.00 ranged from 3.4 to 0.7%. Simple and versatile design of the photocolorimeter make it appropriate for testing various substances both in laboratory settings and in the field. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an in-house dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for confirmation of clinically suspected cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN). STUDY DESIGN: The study was performed at the postgraduate departments of microbiology and pathology of a tertiary-care teaching hospital in India. Suspected cases of TBLN were prospectively enrolled. Fine needle aspiration was done of enlarged lymph nodes in all patients, and 2 smears were prepared, 1 for acid-fast bacillus (AFB) demonstration and the other for cytologic examination. The remaining material was tested with in-house dot-ELISA and by IS6110 amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for diagnosis of TBLN. RESULTS: ELISA was more sensitive and detected 93.2% of cases. PCR and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) detected 82.5% and 61.0% cases, respectively. AFB positivity was 33.1%. CONCLUSION: Application of dot-ELISA was more sensitive but less specific as compared to PCR. PCR, though expensive, should be used in problem cases because of its high specificity. 相似文献

A dot-ELISA technique for the detection of Pseudomonas protease was developedusing IgG of anti- Pseudomonas AFT-36 protease as capture antibody. The detection limitof protease in buffer or milk was 1·01 ng ml−1 . The procedure was performedat room temperature, took about 2·5 h and was economical. Protease AFT-36 isimmunologically related to five out of seven Pseudomonas spp. The results suggest thatthe assay could be used to detect proteases in dairy products. 相似文献

A dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) was developed as a fast and field applicable antibody detection tool for the diagnosis of human fascioliasis. The assay is performed using partially purified antigens from a species of Fasciola at 180 ng protein/dot (2 microliters) and serum samples at 1:20 dilution (1 microliter). Dot-ELISA results completely agreed with those of micro-ELISA. Antigen-coated nitrocellulose sheets stored for 3 mo at -20 C showed results identical to fresh sheets. Sera from patients with fascioliasis (n = 30) and other parasitic or viral infections (n = 120) were compared with sera from healthy controls (n = 14). Ninety samples can be tested within 90 min. The sensitivity, specificity, and speed of the assay may justify its use in laboratory and field studies. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the serological diagnosis of caprine brucellosis with purified recombinant BP26 (outer membrane protein 28) of Brucella melitensis 16M produced in Escherichia coli. Brucella protein named CP28, BP26, or Omp28 has been identified as an immunodominant antigen in infected cattle, sheep, goats, and humans. The recombinant BP26 (rBP6) ELISA performed with serum samples (n = 1738) taken from organized farms and field goats from Northern India and tested in two different batches of 778 and 960 animals for brucellosis. Positive results were compared with the traditional serum agglutination test (SAT), complement fixation test (CFT) and dot-ELISA. The diagnostic sensitivity of rBP26 ELISA, SAT, CFT and dot-ELISA was 87.5%, 56.25%, 62.5% and 75% respectively. The specificity of the rBP26 ELISA, SAT, CFT and dot-ELISA was 90%, 75%, 80%, and 85% respectively. The results of rBP26 ELISA positive animals were further compared and evaluated by tissue PCR using B. melitensis BP26 gene as target. This resulted in 100% positive correlation between rBP26 ELISA and BP26 PCR. Thus, these results confirmed the importance of BP26 as a suitable antigen and rBP26 ELISA, if well standardized, proved to be a good screening test for the serological diagnosis of caprine brucellosis. 相似文献

This paper describes an original dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for predicting ovulation in women, based on the detection of the pre-ovulatory estrogen peak in urine. A monoclonal anti-estrogen antibody is used which recognizes not only free estrogens but also some of their urinary metabolites (17-glucuro- and sulfo-conjugates) allowing a direct assay on early morning urines. Antigen is immobilized as a spot on a nitrocellulose membrane which is immersed in urine in the presence of this antibody. A peroxidase-labeled second antibody allows the detection of the first antibody bound to the membrane. Antigen and anti-estrogen antibody concentrations are chosen to obtain a maximal enzymatic coloration of spots corresponding to basal urinary estrogen levels and no coloration corresponding to the pre-ovulatory surge. Six menstrual cycles were studied, comparing dot-ELISA results with patterns of: (1) urinary estrogens measured by RIA either directly or after hydrolysis and extraction, and (2) basal body temperatures. The validity of the pre-ovulatory signal obtained and the requirements for an adaptation of this methodology to a reliable home kit are discussed. 相似文献

A glycoprotein (27 kDa) was isolated from crude somatic antigen of Fasciola gigantica by two steps affinity chromatography and was used in early detection of experimental fasciolosis in cattle by indirect ELISA and in dot-ELISA formats. Although, anti-27 kDa antibodies could be detected after 3 weeks post infection (WPI) by dot - ELISA which was one week later than indirect ELISA. The test, dot-ELISA, was more convenient in field application. By the test (dot-ELISA) the infection could be equally detected in animals infected with 100, 200 and 300 metacercariae of F. gigantica with high sensitivity. Further, the antigen (27 kDa) was not found to react with goat sera infected with Paramphistomum epiclitum, which are giving strong reaction to homologous immature and mature fluke antigens of P. epiclitum. 相似文献

The four species of thermophilic campylobacters, Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. upsaliensis and C. lari, are difficult to distinguish from each other because of their lack of reactivity in many conventional biochemical and physiological tests. Those tests which do discriminate sometimes give discordant results. Species-specific antibody preparations (APs), capable of discriminating between the thermophilic campylobacter species by dot-ELISA, were raised by inoculation of mice with partially purified membrane protein. The APs produced were absorbed with cells of cross-reactive species and tested by dot-ELISA against reference and natural strains, the identities of which were confirmed by DNA/DNA hybridization. The results showed that such APs could be useful as an alternative to DNA/DNA hybridization for rapid species identification, for example in epidemiological surveys. Western blotting experiments with the APs showed that the specificity of the antibodies was not due to a single antigen. 相似文献

Abstract. Gut membrane antigens were extracted from ten isolates of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus; the antigen extracts were probed with bovine antisera and three murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in Western blots and dot-ELISA. The antisera had been obtained from cattle which were vaccinated with larval and gut extracts of B.microplus , and which were subsequently protected (84% and 94% respectively) against challenge with B.microplus. One of the mAbs (QU13) has been demonstrated to precipitate protective antigens from the midgut of B.microplus. Gut antigens from all ten isolates displayed similar reactivity profiles against bovine antisera and also against mAbs in Western blots. The end-point titres of antigens in dot-ELISA showed four-fold variation between isolates against bovine antisera, and also against mAb QUI 3. Larval membrane antigen extracted from N-strain B.microplus reacted with QU13 in dot-ELISA, indicating that protective antigens are common to both larval and adult stages of B.microplus. It was concluded that protective antigens recognized by QUI3 and antigens recognized by sera from protected cattle were conserved between the ten isolates examined, and between life-cycle stages. 相似文献
