Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
Management of primary antibody deficiency by consultant immunologists in the United Kingdom: a paradigm for other rare diseases. (1/361)
Variation in clinical practice and its effect on outcome is little known for rare diseases such as primary antibody deficiency. As part of a national audit a survey of all 30 consultant immunologists in the United Kingdom dealing with primary antibody deficiency syndromes in adults and children was carried out in 1993 to ascertain their practices in diagnosis and management. Consensus guidelines were published after the survey was completed. Comparison of the survey results of clinical practice at the time the guidelines were published with the standards identified highlighted that the practice of a minority of specialists was at variance with their peers and with the consensus document, particularly in the use of intramuscular immunoglobulin, the dose and frequency of intravenous immunoglobulin, and target trough immunoglobulin G concentration, which has implications for the quality of patient care. However, much closer agreement existed in the key areas of management, such as diagnosis and selection of intravenous immunoglobulin. The approach and the problems identified are relevant to the management of other rare diseases, in which diagnosis and management is complex and there are few specialists with the necessary knowledge to undertake such care. This survey, the first attempted audit of practice, shows that within a motivated group of specialists highly significant differences in practice may exist and the authors emphasise the importance of setting clear guidelines against which care can be assessed. (+info)Detection of allergen-induced basophil activation by expression of CD63 antigen using a tricolour flow cytometric method. (2/361)
In the field of allergy diagnosis, most in vitro functional tests are focused on basophils. Nevertheless, the very small number of circulating basophils limits these experiments and their clinical benefit remains controversial. As flow cytometry is a valuable tool for identifying cell populations, even at low concentrations, we developed a tricolour flow cytometric method for the study of allergen-induced basophil activation. Identification of cells was based both on CD45 expression and on the presence of IgE on the cell surface, since basophils express high-affinity receptors for IgE (Fc epsilon RI). Cell activation upon allergen challenge was assessed by the expression of CD63 antigen on the plasma membrane. Basophil isolation and activation (with the chemotactic peptide formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) were validated in 32 non-allergic patients. In 12 allergic patients, basophil stimulation by a relevant allergen was in most cases positive (10/12). Furthermore a concentration-dependent hook effect was observed. Of the allergic and non-allergic patients, none showed non-specific activation with an irrelevant allergen (specificity 100%). Overall, our preliminary results, even in a small population, suggest that this is a reliable and valuable method for the diagnosis of allergies complementing specific allergen IgE and skin test results. Obviously, additional clinical studies are needed to validate these first results. (+info)New immunological assays for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection. (3/361)
There are several types of immunological tests available for the diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori infection. Most commercially available serological kits use the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test format. Originally the kits used crude antigen preparations although many of the newer kits use a more purified antigen preparation, with often increased specificity but lower sensitivity. Near patient test kits are based either on latex agglutination or immunochromatography. Generally they have low sensitivities compared with laboratory tests. Western blotting, ELISA, and recombinant immunoblot assays (RIBA) have also been developed into commercially available kits and can be used to indicate the presence of specific virulence markers. An antigen detection kit has been developed for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in faeces. Immunological reagents have also been combined with other diagnostic modalities to develop immunohistochemical stains and DNA immunoassays. Helicobacter pylori is now recognised as the cause of gastritis and most cases of peptic ulcer disease (PUD); its long term carriage increases the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma sixfold and it is designated as a class I carcinogen. H pylori has also been implicated as a cause of gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Its relation to non-ulcer dyspepsia remains controversial. Additionally, long term carriage of the organism may be associated with short stature in young girls and, in the general population, as a possible risk factor for the development of vasospastic disorders and possibly skin immunopathology such as urticaria. With the recognition of H pylori as an important human pathogen, it has become one of the growing number of organisms to have its complete genome sequence mapped. Serology is an important method of determining colonisation status and can be used for diagnosis, as a screening procedure, or to follow the efficacy of eradication regimens. Most serological assays are in the ELISA format although some are based on the latex agglutination reaction. These latter are used principally as near patient assays. Most assays detect IgG in serum although some detect serum IgA. More recently developed assays detect IgA in saliva and the production of affinity purified antibodies has led to the development of an antigen detection assay for faecal specimens. Serological reagents have also been used in immunocytochemistry and to speed up the detection of amplified products of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-DNA immunoassays. (+info)A new method with general diagnostic utility for the calculation of immunoglobulin G avidity. (4/361)
The reference method for immunoglobulin G (IgG) avidity determination includes reagent-consuming serum titration. Aiming at better IgG avidity diagnostics, we applied a logistic model for the reproduction of antibody titration curves. This method was tested with well-characterized serum panels for cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, rubella virus, parvovirus B19, and Toxoplasma gondii. This approach for IgG avidity calculation is generally applicable and attains the diagnostic performance of the reference method while being less laborious and twice as cost-effective. (+info)Detection of Francisella tularensis in biological specimens using a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, an immunochromatographic handheld assay, and a PCR. (5/361)
The early detection of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is important for adequate treatment by antibiotics and the outcome of the disease. Here we describe a new capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) based on monoclonal antibodies specific for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica and Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis. No cross-reactivity with Francisella tularensis subsp. novicida, Francisella philomiragia, and a panel of other possibly related bacteria, including Brucella spp., Yersinia spp., Escherichia coli, and Burkholderia spp., was observed. The detection limit of the assay was 10(3) to 10(4) bacteria/ml. This sensitivity was achieved by solubilization of the LPS prior to the cELISA. In addition, a novel immunochromatographic membrane-based handheld assay (HHA) and a PCR, targeting sequences of the 17-kDa protein (TUL4) gene of F. tularensis, were used in this study. Compared to the cELISA, the sensitivity of the HHA was about 100 times lower and that of the PCR was about 10 times higher. All three techniques were successfully applied to detect F. tularensis in tissue samples of European brown hares (Lepus europaeus). Whereas all infected samples were recognized by the cELISA, those with relatively low bacterial load were partially or not detected by PCR and HHA, probably due to inhibitors or lack of sensitivity. In conclusion, the HHA can be used as a very fast and simple approach to perform field diagnosis to obtain a first hint of an infection with F. tularensis, especially in emergent situations. In any suspect case, the diagnosis should be confirmed by more sensitive techniques, such as the cELISA and PCR. (+info)Comparison of two rapid diagnostic assays for detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to dengue virus. (6/361)
Two easy-to-use commercial diagnostic assays, a dipstick enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Integrated Diagnostics, Baltimore, Md.) and an immunochromatographic card assay (PanBio, Brisbane, Australia) were evaluated for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to dengue virus with an in-house IgM antibody capture microplate ELISA as a reference assay. The dipstick ELISA was based on the indirect-ELISA format using dengue 2 virus as the only antigen and enzyme-labeled goat anti-human IgM antibody as the detector. The total assay time was 75 min. The immunochromatographic card assay was based on the antibody capture format and separately measured both anti-dengue virus IgM and IgG in the same test. Colloidal-gold-labeled anti-dengue virus monoclonal antibody bound with dengue virus 1 to 4 antigen cocktail was the detector, and anti-human IgM and IgG were the capture antibodies. The total assay time was <10 min. Sera from 164 individuals classified as either anti-dengue virus IgM positive (94) or anti-dengue virus IgM negative (70) in the reference microplate ELISA with a dengue virus 1 to 4 antigen cocktail were tested in the two commercial assays. The dipstick ELISA missed 7 of 94 positive samples, for a sensitivity of 92.6%, while the immunochromatographic card assay missed two positive samples, for a sensitivity of 97.9%. Of the 70 negative samples, four were false positive by the dipstick ELISA and two were false positive in the immunochromatographic card assay, resulting in specificities of 94.3 and 97.1%, respectively. Both commercial assays provide sensitive and specific detection of anti-dengue virus IgM antibody and could prove useful in settings where the microplate ELISA is impractical. (+info)Tissue-specific expression of c-series gangliosides in the extraneural system. (7/361)
c-Series gangliosides in extraneural tissues from young and adult rats were examined using thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) immunostaining with a specific monoclonal antibody A2B5. The composition of c-series gangliosides significantly differed among tissues. In adult rats, while liver tissue contained GT1c, GQ1c, and GP1c, renal tissue had GT3 as the major c-series ganglioside with GT2 in a lesser amount. Pancreatic tissue expressed c-series gangliosides that consisted of GT3, GT2, GQ1c, and GP1c. In other tissues including adrenal, thyroid, and eye lens, GT3 constituted the main c-series ganglioside species. While total ganglioside contents of extraneural tissues were much lower than that of brain tissue, the proportions of c-series gangliosides to total gangliosides were higher in many extraneural tissues. Interestingly, eye lens had the highest GT3 content among rat tissues examined. The compositions and concentrations of c-series gangliosides in liver and kidney significantly differed between 5-day-old and 7-week-old rats, suggesting the development-dependent expression of c-series gangliosides in these tissues. These results suggest that the expression of c-series gangliosides in extraneural tissues is regulated in a tissue-specific manner. (+info)Antigenic equivalence of human T-cell responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific RD1-encoded protein antigens ESAT-6 and culture filtrate protein 10 and to mixtures of synthetic peptides. (8/361)
The early secreted antigenic target 6-kDa protein (ESAT-6) and culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP-10) are promising antigens for reliable immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis. Both antigens are encoded by RD1, a genomic region present in all strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis but lacking in all M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine strains. Production and purification of recombinant antigens are laborious and costly, precluding rapid and large-scale testing. Aiming to develop alternative diagnostic reagents, we have investigated whether recombinant ESAT-6 (rESAT-6) and recombinant CFP-10 (rCFP-10) can be replaced with corresponding mixtures of overlapping peptides spanning the complete amino acid sequence of each antigen. Proliferation of M. tuberculosis-specific human T-cell lines in response to rESAT-6 and rCFP-10 and that in response to the corresponding peptide mixtures were almost completely correlated (r = 0.96, P < 0.0001 for ESAT-6; r = 0.98, P < 0.0001 for CFP-10). More importantly, the same was found when gamma interferon production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to these stimuli was analyzed (r = 0.89, P < 0.0001 for ESAT-6; r = 0.89, P < 0.0001 for CFP-10). Whole protein antigens and the peptide mixtures resulted in identical sensitivity and specificity for detection of infection with M. tuberculosis. The peptides in each mixture contributing to the overall response varied between individuals with different HLA-DR types. Interestingly, responses to CFP-10 were significantly higher in the presence of HLA-DR15, which is the major subtype of DR2. These results show that mixtures of synthetic overlapping peptides have potency equivalent to that of whole ESAT-6 and CFP-10 for sensitive and specific detection of infection with M. tuberculosis, and peptides have the advantage of faster production at lower cost. (+info)Immunologic tests are analytical procedures that involve the interaction of antibodies or antigens with specific immune reagents, used to identify and measure the presence, absence, or levels of various substances, cells, or organisms in biological samples for diagnostic, monitoring, or research purposes.
Immunologic tests are a type of diagnostic assay that detect and measure the presence or absence of specific immune responses in a sample, such as blood or tissue. These tests can be used to identify antibodies, antigens, immune complexes, or complement components in a sample, which can provide information about the health status of an individual, including the presence of infection, autoimmune disease, or immunodeficiency.
Immunologic tests use various methods to detect these immune components, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), Western blots, immunofluorescence assays, and radioimmunoassays. The results of these tests can help healthcare providers diagnose and manage medical conditions, monitor treatment effectiveness, and assess immune function.
It's important to note that the interpretation of immunologic test results should be done by a qualified healthcare professional, as false positives or negatives can occur, and the results must be considered in conjunction with other clinical findings and patient history.
"Pregnancy tests are diagnostic tools, either chemical or mechanical, that detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in urine or blood to determine pregnancy status."
A pregnancy test is a medical diagnostic tool used to determine whether or not a woman is pregnant. These tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta after fertilization. Pregnancy tests can be performed using a variety of methods, including urine tests and blood tests.
Urine pregnancy tests are typically performed at home and involve either dipping a test strip into a sample of urine or holding the strip under a stream of urine for several seconds. The test strip contains antibodies that react with hCG, producing a visual signal such as a line or plus sign if hCG is present.
Blood pregnancy tests are performed by a healthcare provider and can detect lower levels of hCG than urine tests. There are two types of blood pregnancy tests: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative tests simply detect the presence or absence of hCG, while quantitative tests measure the exact amount of hCG present in the blood.
Pregnancy tests are generally very accurate when used correctly, but false positives and false negatives can occur. False positives may occur due to certain medical conditions or medications that contain hCG. False negatives may occur if the test is taken too early or if it is not performed correctly. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and consult with a healthcare provider if there is any uncertainty about the results.
Immunodiffusion is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify the presence of antigens or antibodies in a sample, based on their diffusion and precipitation within a gel matrix, resulting in the formation of visible bands of immune complexes.
Immunodiffusion is a laboratory technique used in immunology to detect and measure the presence of specific antibodies or antigens in a sample. It is based on the principle of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they reach equilibrium. In this technique, a sample containing an unknown quantity of antigen or antibody is placed in a gel or agar medium that contains a known quantity of antibody or antigen, respectively.
The two substances then diffuse towards each other and form a visible precipitate at the point where they meet and reach equivalence, which indicates the presence and quantity of the specific antigen or antibody in the sample. There are several types of immunodiffusion techniques, including radial immunodiffusion (RID) and double immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony technique). These techniques are widely used in diagnostic laboratories to identify and measure various antigens and antibodies, such as those found in infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and allergic reactions.
Skin tests are diagnostic procedures where small amounts of allergens are introduced into the skin to determine if an individual has a hypersensitive immune response to specific substances, helping identify allergies or potential sources of allergic reactions.
Skin tests are medical diagnostic procedures that involve the application of a small amount of a substance to the skin, usually through a scratch, prick, or injection, to determine if the body has an allergic reaction to it. The most common type of skin test is the patch test, which involves applying a patch containing a small amount of the suspected allergen to the skin and observing the area for signs of a reaction, such as redness, swelling, or itching, over a period of several days. Another type of skin test is the intradermal test, in which a small amount of the substance is injected just beneath the surface of the skin. Skin tests are used to help diagnose allergies, including those to pollen, mold, pets, and foods, as well as to identify sensitivities to medications, chemicals, and other substances.
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a widely used laboratory technique that employs an enzymatic reaction linked to the formation of an antibody-antigen complex for the detection and quantification of specific proteins or peptides, making it highly versatile in various diagnostic applications.
An Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a type of analytical biochemistry assay used to detect and quantify the presence of a substance, typically a protein or peptide, in a liquid sample. It takes its name from the enzyme-linked antibodies used in the assay.
In an ELISA, the sample is added to a well containing a surface that has been treated to capture the target substance. If the target substance is present in the sample, it will bind to the surface. Next, an enzyme-linked antibody specific to the target substance is added. This antibody will bind to the captured target substance if it is present. After washing away any unbound material, a substrate for the enzyme is added. If the enzyme is present due to its linkage to the antibody, it will catalyze a reaction that produces a detectable signal, such as a color change or fluorescence. The intensity of this signal is proportional to the amount of target substance present in the sample, allowing for quantification.
ELISAs are widely used in research and clinical settings to detect and measure various substances, including hormones, viruses, and bacteria. They offer high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, making them a reliable choice for many applications.
'Sensitivity' refers to the proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified by a test, while 'Specificity' denotes the fraction of true negatives accurately recognized by the same test, both measured in terms of true positive and true negative rates in diagnostic testing.
Sensitivity and specificity are statistical measures used to describe the performance of a diagnostic test or screening tool in identifying true positive and true negative results.
* Sensitivity refers to the proportion of people who have a particular condition (true positives) who are correctly identified by the test. It is also known as the "true positive rate" or "recall." A highly sensitive test will identify most or all of the people with the condition, but may also produce more false positives.
* Specificity refers to the proportion of people who do not have a particular condition (true negatives) who are correctly identified by the test. It is also known as the "true negative rate." A highly specific test will identify most or all of the people without the condition, but may also produce more false negatives.
In medical testing, both sensitivity and specificity are important considerations when evaluating a diagnostic test. High sensitivity is desirable for screening tests that aim to identify as many cases of a condition as possible, while high specificity is desirable for confirmatory tests that aim to rule out the condition in people who do not have it.
It's worth noting that sensitivity and specificity are often influenced by factors such as the prevalence of the condition in the population being tested, the threshold used to define a positive result, and the reliability and validity of the test itself. Therefore, it's important to consider these factors when interpreting the results of a diagnostic test.
