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

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

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

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 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

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

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

A 24-year-old woman 2-3 months after a normal parturation presented geophagy. Due to hypermenorrhea she consulted a gynecologist and in a hemogram a 57% (6,893 x mm3) hypereosinophilia was detected. A chest TAC showed bilateral pulmonary nodules. The following tests resulted positive: ELISA IgG for toxocariasis 1:1000, isohemagglutinins anti A 1:2048 and anti B 1:512. The patient was treated with albendazole and prednisone during 10 days. One month after treatment eosinophilia decreased to 2.590 x mm3 and ELISA IgG for toxocariasis descended to 1:128. Different aspects of human toxocariasis are commented. When hypereosinophia is observed in adult patients, toxocariasis must be checked. 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

We developed a new screening kit for the detection of anti-Toxocara larval excretory-secretory antibodies. The test can be performed within 3 min for one sample and does not require a high-priced supplemental instrument. Moreover, results are easily and directly observed. Using this test kit, 22 sera taken from healthy subjects were negative for anti-Toxocara larval excretory-secretory antibodies at the serum dilution of 1:20. Of 14 proven cases of parasitic infections other than toxocariasis, one (gnathostomiasis) showed a positive result, but the others were negative. In serologically diagnosed toxocariasis, the test kit showed good correlation with ELISA, immunoblot and double gel diffusion tests. We designated this test kit as ToxocaraCHEK. 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

An ELISA test for trichinosis using as antigen a larvae soluble fraction from Trichinella spiralis was carried out for the detection of IgM and IgA specific antibodies in 45 serum samples from patients confirmed or suspected to have trichinosis by strong clinical and epidemiological evidences. All the patients had positive serology detected by precipitin test, bentonite floculation test, indirect hemagglutination test and ELISA IgG test. The cut-off value was determined using two criteria. Criterion A was determined in each plate, using three positive controls and two negative ones; the average of the negative controls and the weakest positive control, multiplied by a 1.2 factor was, considered the cut-off value. Criterion B was determined using the average plus three standard deviations from 64 apparently healthy persons serum samples. In both cases, three serum dilutions (1:10, 1:100 and 1:500) were used. The sensitivity of ELISA IgM was 100.0, 93.3 and 82.2% using serum dilutions of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:500 respectively (criterion A) and 100.0, 97.8 and 95.6% for the same dilutions (criterion B), whereas the values for ELISA IgA were: 100.0, 91.1 and 86.7% (criterion A) and 100.0, 100.0 and 91.1% (criterion B). In order to find out the specificity of ELISA IgM and ELISA IgA, additional 118 serum samples from individuals with other parasitoses, such as cysticercosis (18) hydatidosis (39), fascioliasis (12), toxocariasis (30), Chagas' disease (12) and individuals with non-specific eosinophilia (7), were also tested. ELISA IgM presented a specificity of 92.3, 93.4 and 97.3% (criterion A) and 96.2, 97.8 and 97.8% (criterion B) whereas the results for ELISA IgA were 97.8, 98.9 and 99.4% (criterion A) and 98.4% for the 1:10 and 1:100 dilutions and 100.0% for the 1:500 dilution (criterion B). The positive predictive values of ELISA IgM were 76.3, 77.8 and 88.1% (criterion A) and 86.5, 91.7 and 91.5% (criterion B) whereas the negative ones were 100.0, 98.3 and 95.7% (criterion A) and 100.0, 99.4 and 98.9% (criterion B). The positive predictive values of ELISA IgA were 91.8, 95.3 and 97.5% (criterion A) and 93.8, 93.8 and 100.0% (criterion B) whereas the negatives ones were: 100.0, 97.8 and 96.8% (criterion A) and 100.0, 100.0 and 97.8% (criterion B). The use of ELISA IgM and ELISA IgA in the immunodiagnosis of trichinosis is discussed. 相似文献

A Syrian chickpea isolate of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV; genus Mastrevirus, family Geminiviridae) was purified and yielded 0.6–0.8 mg of purified virus per kg of infected chickpea tissue. The purified preparations were injected into a rabbit and an antiserum of good quality was obtained and used to evaluate different serological tests for the detection of CpCDV in infected chickpea leaf tissue and extracts. CpCDV was detected in sap dilutions of 1/640 by double‐antibody sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (DAS‐ELISA) and dot‐blot ELISA, and in sap dilutions of 1/1280 by direct antigen‐coating (DAC)‐ELISA using CpCDV immunoglobulin G (IgG) at 0.5 μg/ml. The antiserum was also able to detect the capsid protein of CpCDV by Western blot using raw antiserum at a dilution of 1/2000. The CpCDV raw antiserum (third bleeding) produced had a titre of 1/320 000 when determined by tissue‐blot immunoassay (TBIA); whereas, coating ELISA plates with CpCDV IgG at a concentration of 0.004 μg/ml was enough to detect the virus by DAS‐ELISA in a sap dilution of 1/20 using an enzyme conjugate at a dilution of 1/2000. 相似文献

This study describes the isolation of a Toxocara canis species-specific excretory-secretory (ES) antigen and the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on this antigen. Analysis of the ES antigens of T. canis, Toxocara vitulorum, Ascaris lumbricoides and Necator americanus larval antigen was performed by SDS-PAGE followed by western blotting. A 57 kDa T. canis-specific antibody fraction (TcES-57) was identified by western blotting and labelling with anti-Toxocara antibodies (from experimental rabbits and human patients) and tracing with anti-human or anti-rabbit peroxidase conjugate. No protein fraction of 57 kDa was detected in ES or larval antigens collected from T. canis, T. vitulorum, A. lumbricoides and N. americanus. Using TcES-57, a specific antiserum was produced in rabbits and a double sandwich ELISA was developed. This test was validated using known seropositive sera from toxocariasis patients, sera from A. lumbricoides or N. americanus patients, and 50 serum samples from cats. These tests revealed that TcES-57 antigen is specific to T. canis infection and does not cross react with sera of other related infections. Thus, ELISA based on TcES-57 antigen was proven to be an effective tool in the diagnosis of toxocariasis and studies on the role of T. canis in the epidemiology of human toxocariasis. 相似文献
