Understanding the Western Blot
Inquiries about various issues relating to Western blot (WB) testing are frequently posted to the Lyme disease discussion groups on the Internet. Among the most commonly asked questions are: What laboratory techniques are used to carry out the assay? What exactly is being measured? What is a “band”? How are the results interpreted? What are the CDC criteria for a “positive” test? Although some ...
متن کاملSerological diagnosis of North American Paragonimiasis by Western blot using Paragonimus kellicotti adult worm antigen.
Abstract. We studied the value of an IgG Western blot (WB) with Paragonimus kellicotti (Pk) antigen for diagnosis of North American paragonimiasis. The test was evaluated with sera from patients with Pk and Paragonimus westermani infections, with control sera from patients with other helminth infections, and sera from healthy Americans. All 11 proven Pk infection sera and two samples from suspe...
متن کاملUse of partially purified 54-kilodalton antigen for diagnosis of nocardiosis by Western blot (immunoblot) assay.
A Western blot (immunoblot) assay is presented for the diagnosis of nocardiosis with a specific immunodominant 54-kilodalton (kDa) antigen purified from a culture filtrate of Nocardia asteroides by immunoaffinity chromatography. The chromatography column was prepared with immunoglobulin G obtained from sera from patients with lepromatous leprosy. Unbound solutes consisted of specific, partially...
متن کاملDetection of a species-specific antigen of Gardnerella vaginalis by Western blot analysis.
Western blot analysis was used to identify antigenic components of Gardnerella vaginalis. Polypeptides bound to nitrocellulose membranes were probed with murine antisera raised to two strains of G. vaginalis, and antibody-antigen complexes were detected with 125I-labelled antimouse immunoglobulin followed by autoradiography. Although there was inter-strain variation in immunogenic polypeptide p...
متن کاملCharacterization of Aphanomyces invadans by electrophoretic and Western blot analysis
Fungal mycelium extracts were subjected to gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis with various lectins and polyclonal antisera. These techniques succeeded in identifying bands specific to pathogenic Aphanomyces strains from fish affected by epizootic ulcerative syndrome, redspot disease and mycotic granulomatosis when compared to various other Oomycete fungi. It is concluded that these i...
