Multiple-antigen ELISA for melioidosis - a novel approach to the improved serodiagnosis of melioidosis
BACKGROUND Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is endemic to Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical manifestations of disease are diverse, ranging from chronic infection to acute septicaemia. The current gold standard of diagnosis involves bacterial culture and identification which is time consuming and often too late for early medical intervention. Hence, ra...
متن کاملPhages specific for mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan help serodiagnosis of tuberculosis.
This study evaluated the possibility to use six phages specific to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan (LAM) as tools for tubercular serodiagnosis. We analysed sera samples from 30 subjects with active tuberculosis (TB+), 30 with latent tubercular infection (LTBI) and 60 healthy subjects as controls (K). Our data indicated a good antibody response of the TB+ and LTBI patients again...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cellular Immune Response against Purified Antigen 85 in Patients with Tuberculosis
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important health problem throughout the world. Despite its significance in public health, mechanisms of protective immunity against Mycobacyerium Tuberculosis in humans have not yet been understood. Objective: To evaluate cell mediated immune response against purified Ag 85, PPD and Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in patients with tuberculosis and healthy tuber...
متن کاملA Bacterial Glycoengineered Antigen for Improved Serodiagnosis of Porcine Brucellosis.
Brucellosis is a highly zoonotic disease that affects animals and human beings. Brucella suis is the etiological agent of porcine brucellosis and one of the major human brucellosis pathogens. Laboratory diagnosis of porcine brucellosis mainly relies on serological tests, and it has been widely demonstrated that serological assays based on the detection of anti O-polysaccharide antibodies are th...
متن کاملELISA and immunoblot using purified glycoproteins for serodiagnosis of cysticercosis in pigs naturally infected with Taenia solium.
The establishment of reliable serological methods for cysticercosis in pigs is important for the surveillance, control and prevention of taeniosis/cysticercosis in humans as well as in pigs to prevent economic loss. Both ELISA and immunoblot using glycoproteins (GPs) purified by a single step of preparative iso-electric focusing, which are highly useful for human cysticercosis, have been applie...
