Possible Use Of P20 Antigen In Serodiagnosis Of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
… immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for possible serodiagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) associated with MAP infection. All variables associated with ELISA test with regard to concentrations, washes and incubations were optimized using hyper immune rabbit t-anti-MAP polyclonal IgG …

Studies of Culture-Derived Soluble Babesia Bovis Antigens: Purification, Characterization and Application in Serodiagnosis
Analytical purification of soluble antigens from crude supernatant fluids of Babesia bovis cultures was conducted by various immunoadsorption procedures using horse anti-B. bovis IgG. A Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B adsorbent proved the most efficient as 58 mg of antigen could be purified from 34 ml of …

Cross-protection from St. Louis encephalitis virus and Usutu virus disease by human West Nile virus convalescent plasma in mice
… cross-neutralized USUV and SLEV in vitro during serodiagnosis, the actual mechanism of cross-protection among WNV, USUV, and SLEV remains poorly characterized. Therefore, this study aims to understand the mechanism of cross-protection. Specifically, this research investigated whether human plasma …

Comparison of Five Different Serological Assays for Determination of Antibody Levels Against Herpes Virus Type 1 and 2
<p>To aid in the diagnosis of certain clinical types of Herpes virus infections, we evaluated and compared five serological methods for measuring Herpes virus antibody. The five tests we compared are complement fixation test (CF), indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (IFA), anticomplementary …
