To ascertain the prevalence of BHV-1 antibodies among cattle population, Virus neutralization test (VNT) and indirect Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were employed for the detection of BHV-1 antibodies. Evaluation of these two serological tests was made to find out the rapid, economic and sensitive diagnostic test for detection of BHV-1 infection. A total of 255 serum samples were col...

Actinidin was used to hydrolyse proteins in whey protein isolate (WPI) and milk concentrate (MPC) reduce immunoreactivity of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) αs1-casein (αs1-CN). Samples were incubated at an enzyme substrate ratio 1:100 (5.21 units actinidin activity g−1 protein) 10 or 60 °C for up 31 5 h, respectively. Protein hydrolysis determined by the degree SDS-PAGE. Antigenicity hydrolysates β-LG ...

The objective was to compare deoxynivalenol (DON) concentrations in feed ingredients and commercial swine diets measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Seventy ingredient samples consisted of corn, corn dried distillers grains with solubles, gluten feed, meal, palm kernel expellers, rice bran, soy hulls, soybean wheat. Commercial diet...

The performance of a commercial immunofluorescence assay (IFA commercial), an in-house in-house) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) were evaluated in the detection antibodies anti-C. burnetii serum Q fever patients persons without disease. For study, seropositive seronegative samples for (n = 200) from bank Instituto Adolfo Lutz Brazil used. Commercial IFA was considered this stud...

Cytospin-enhanced direct fluorescent-antibody assay (DFA) detected 49 (92.5%) and rapid membrane enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detected 40 (75.5%) of 53 influenza virus A-positive samples. All 15 positive nasopharyngeal aspirates from children were detected by both tests. In contrast, 34 of 38 (89.5%) positive swabs from adults were detected by DFA, but only 25 (66%) were detected b...

A highly sensitive immuno-PCR method specific for the detection of antigens of and antibodies to bovine herpesvirus 1 was established. This assay attained a high sensitivity of up to 10(7.0) times higher than that of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or PCR for antigen detection and 10(5.0) times higher than that of ELISA for antibody detection.

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of IgG serum antibodies to swine Sendai virus. To evaluate the preliminary potential of ELISA, sera from 10 healthy pigs and 34 sera from finishing pigs suffering from respiratory signs were tested. The results were compared with those obtained from the same sera by hemagglutination inhibition assay.

This work describes a general methodology for enhanced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that integrates enzyme-coated microparticle probes for robust yet highly efficient signal amplification and a handheld pH meter for a simple, portable, quantitative readout. Its utility is well demonstrated with the detection of the target protein with a 14-fold enhancement of sensitivity in compari...

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...
