Specific immunoglobulin M enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for confirming the diagnosis of measles.

Evaluation of Immune Status to Measles in Vaccinated Population in Tehran, by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay and the Hemagglutination Inhibition Techniques (1386-1387)

Background and Aims: Measles remains one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries and is still a major public health concern in developed countries. Although live attenuated vaccine is used throughout the world, out breaks of disease still occur in many countries including Iran. Methods: The present study was performed to evaluate the immune status aga...

Evaluation of immune status to measles in vaccinated population in Tehran, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the hemagglutination inhibition techniques

Abstract: Measles remains one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries and is still a major public health concern in developed countries. Although live attenuated vaccine is used throughout the world, out breaks of disease still occur in many countries including Iran. Understanding measles outbreaks that occur after the initiation of measles eliminati...

ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY OF NEOPTERIN USING PENICILLINASE AS LABEL

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for neopterin using penicillinase as marker enzyme is reported here by polyclonal antibodies against neopterin conjugated to bovine serum albumin which were raised in rabbits. Immunoglobulin fractions were purified and coated on wells of microtiter plates. A chain heterology was introduced in neopterin derivative and conjugated to penicillinase. The assa...

Expression System in a High-Efficiency Mammalian Based on Recombinant Protein Produced Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Diagnosis of Measles by an Protein-Specific Immunoglobulin M for Evaluation of Hemagglutinin

Application of a modified human enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for diagnosis of hydatidosis in sheep

Cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is one of the most important zoonosis that is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus . As its diagnosis by clinical symptoms alone is difficult and confusing, serologic diagnostic techniques are used to confirm the disease. These techniques can also be used for   epidemiologic studies. The present study was performed with a commercial human en...
