Abstract: | D.CHOI, R.S.W. TSANG AND M.H. NG. 1992. A sandwich capture ELISA based on a murine monoclonal antibody against a genus-specific epitope in the outer core region of the Salmonella lipopolysaccharide is described for the detection of different common serotypes of salmonellas. Four h broth cultures of seven standard and 24 wild strains of salmonellas were all detected by the capture ELISA while overnight broth cultures of 21 non-salmonella standard strains were all negative. The capture ELISA detected 1 ng/ml of Ra lipopolysaccharide, 106/ml of a smooth wild strain of Salm. typhimurium , and 1120 cells of Salm. heidelberg after enrichment culture for 4 h. |
