Evaluation of Serodia Myco II particle agglutination test for detecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody: comparison with mu-capture ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence.
The Serodia Myco II particle agglutination test, which the manufacturers claim exclusively detects IgM antibody, was compared with two IgM-specific tests, a mu-capture ELISA, and indirect immunofluorescence for their ability to detect recent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. In general there was good agreement among the three tests, all three having similar sensitivity. One hundred and nine (78%...
متن کاملComparison of enzyme linked immunosorbant assaay (ELISA) with indirect immunofluorescence for detection of anti-nuclear antibody
Background: Detection of antinuclear antibody (ANA) is used as one of the diagnostic criteria for autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD). Both indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) methods are used for this purpose. However, there are lack of data comparing these two tests from India. Methods: We prospectively studed 294 patients clinically suspected to be...
متن کاملComparison of diagnostic value of indirect immunofluorescence assay and desmoglein ELISA in the diagnosis of pemphigus.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are autoimmune blistering diseases characterized by intraepidermal separation as the result of autoantibodies directed to desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3, adhesion molecules that have a pathogenic role in blister formation. Both PV and PF are diagnosed according to clinical picture, histopathologic, immunopathologic and molecular biologic featu...
متن کاملDiscrepancies and consequences of indirect hemagglutination, indirect immunofluorescence and ELISA tests for the diagnosis of Chagas disease.
Using the indirect hemagglutination (IH), indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests for the diagnosis of Chagas disease, 4000 serum samples were examined. This study was conducted with different purposes: clinical interest, research support and parasitological monitoring of those patients with Chagas disease who were treated with heart transplantation...
متن کاملAnti-RNA polymerase III antibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis detected by indirect immunofluorescence and ELISA
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the analytical performance of an ELISA for the detection of anti-RNA polymerase III antibody (ARA) and to assess IIF as a method for identifying this antibody. METHODS A commercially available ELISA was used to assess the presence of ARA in sera from 1018 SSc patients. The sera had been divided into sub-populations based on the presence of specific autoantibodies, ANA p...
