The consequences of the edge-effect in a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis
Keyword(s):
The diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is based on neurological symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis, and intrathecally produced Borrelia-specific antibodies. In most cases, the presence of intrathecally produced Borrelia-specific antibodies is determined by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The edge-effect is a known phenomenon in ELISAs and can negatively influence the assay reproducibility, repeatability, as well as index calculations of sample pairs which are tested in the same run.
