following an outbreak of fascioliasis in anzali harbor in 1988, 452 blood samples were collected using a multistage sampling method for hematological and serological studies. after determination of eosinophilia in the samples, antifasciolia antibodies in the sera were also determined using enzyme linked immuno sorbant assay (elisa) and counter-current immuno electrophoresis (ccie). 64.2% of the...

background: anti-ganglioside antibody assays are widely used for diagnosis of autoimmune peripheral neuropathies. objective: this study aimed to determine serum levels of anti-ganglioside antibodies in children with guillain-barre syndrome by immunoblotting technique and compare the results with those obtained by elisa method. method: in this investigation, 50 children with guillain-barre syndr...

Bovine reproductive disorders are of growing interest from both economic and health standpoints. The role that fungi play in these processes is becoming increasingly important. Study of the seroprevalence of anti-Aspergillus antibodies in cow sera taken from herds with previous reproductive disorders is therefore of great interest. We used an indirect ELISA technique, that had shown suitable re...

Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in newborn calves. In this study, it was aimed to investigate frequency of Rotavirus infections in calves in Kars region in Northeast Turkey by feces sampling 112 diarrheic calves of 0-6 months old. Feces samples were tested for Rotavirus antigen by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Of the 112 feces samples examined by ELISA 10 samp...

Tetanus antitoxin in human sera was detected with solid-phase immunoassays in microtitration modules coated with tetanus toxoid by using Eu+ -labeled anti-human monoclonal antibodies on the basis of an exactly calibrated antibody standard. The use of a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TR-FIA) significantly improved the quantitative detection of tetanus antitoxin over that of the enzyme-l...
