Rapid methods for the immunodiagnosis of infectious diseases: recent developments.

چکیده
Current techniques for rapid diagnosis of microbial infections by direct detection of the microbial agent are compared. The techniques include enzyme immunoassay (EIA) tests, immunofluorescence, latex agglutination assays, and nucleic acid hybridization procedures. It is concluded that, for the near future, the preferred methods for rapid diagnosis will be by (1) EIA tests utilizing monoclonal antibodies and improved enzyme detection systems, and (2) improved latex agglutination procedures for certain antigens. Nucleic acid hybridization techniques, as currently performed, will need to be substantially improved to become the methods of choice.
