ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a technique used to assess the quantification of peptide, protein, antibody and hormone levels, based on the principle of antigen-antibody binding. In the ELISA technique, antigen immobilization will be carried out on a solid surface, then bound with antibodies to form an antigen-antibody bond complex, where the antigen-antibody complex is bound to the enzyme. The detection signal in the form of a color change will be formed due to the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate.

Abstract An enzyme immunosorbent assay of neopterin and biopterin on a polystyrene microtiter plate has been developed. A conjugate of neopterin or biopterin to bovine serum albumin was used to raise a specific antiserum against neopterin or biopterin in rabbits. An incubation mixture of the antiserum and samples prepared from human serum underwent another antigen-antibody reaction with the hapten fixed on the microtiter plate. The amount of antibody bound to the fixed hapten, which is inverse to the amount of hapten in the sample, was determined by using anti-rabbit IgG-horseradish peroxidase conjugate in a usual manner by measuring absorbance at 490 nm after reaction with o-phenylenediamine and hydrogen peroxide. The minimal detectable amounts of neopterin and biopterin were approximately 0.1 pmol. The specificity of the assay was so high that the assay system for neopterin completely distinguished it from biopterin, as judged from the cross-reaction of 0.002%, and vice versa. The amounts of neopterin and biopterin in human serum determined by the present method agreed well with those determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. We used the present method to determine the concentrations of neopterin in serum from healthy control subjects and patients with cancers and systemic lupus erythematosus; the results were consistent with literature data.

AbstractAnti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), a proposed indicator of ovarian follicle reserve in adults, has not been characterized in pediatric and adolescent females by race and/or ethnicity.To describe AMH levels in healthy American girls and determine the influence of age and race/ethnicity on AMH.Subjects aged 10–21 years were recruited from primary care settings and emergency departments. Race/ethnicity was characterized as White, Black or Hispanic.Serum for AMH levels (ng/mL) was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Thirty-one White, 60 Black and 24 Hispanic subjects were recruited. Mean AMH levels were 3.19 ng/mL (22.8 pmol/L) (SD 2.12) for Whites, 3.25 ng/mL (23.2 pmol/L) (SD 2.23) for Blacks and 2.97 ng/mL (21.2 pmol/L) (SD 1.75) for Hispanics. ANCOVA showed no difference in AMH levels among race/ethnicities, controlling for age (p=0.91). Age was significantly associated with AMH (p<0.001, RAMH levels do not vary by race/ethnicity, and AMH levels increase with age.

Fungi produce a series of toxic compounds on corn, especially Fumonisin B1 (FB1) toxin produced by Fusarium spp. and promoting cancer activity in humans and animals. This study aimed to the isolation and identification of fungi associated with local corn seeds and the detection for the presence of FB1 by using ELISA technique. Thirty samples of corn ears were collected from silos and markets in Baghdad city during the period from November 2018 to March 2019. The present study found that Fusarium was the dominant isolate among fungi in terms of the relative density 57.07%, followed by Aspergillus 31.17%, Rhizopus 3.36%, Alternaria 2.88%, Mucor 2.16%, Penicillium 1.92%, Trichothecium 0.96%, and Helminthosporium 0.48%. FB1 was detected in all samples of the silos and markets with a concentration range of 13.69 - 175.54 µg/kg. There were no significant differences in FB1concentration among samples collected from the silos and markets. Also, no relationship was found between the number of infected seeds by Fusarium spp. and FB1concentrations.

This study aimed to compare estrous performance and progesterone concentration during the estrous cycle of kacang goats induced by PGF2α versus ovsynch protocol. This research used six female kacang goats. The goats were divided into two groups namely the K1 group which was induced by injecting 7.5 mg PGF2α intramuscularly in 10 days interval and K2 group which was induced by using the ovsynch method. Protocol for K2 group was as follow; at day 1, the goats were injected with 7.5 mg PGF2α; at day 8, they were injected with 50 µg GnRH; at day 15 they were injected with 7.5 mg PGF2α; at day 18 they were injected with 50 µg GnRH. Estrous were detected using male goat and visual observation. The blood samples were taken on days 7, 14, and 21 after estrous. Progesterone concentration was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Intensity, onset, and duration of estrous in K1 group versus K2 group were 8.33±2.08 vs 7.00±1.00; 56.00±34.12 vs 36.00±20.78 hours; and 24.00±26.15 vs 24.00±20.78 hours, respectively (p>0.05). Level of progesterone hormone on day 7, 14, and 21 for K1 vs K2 were 0.812±0.710 vs 2.369±3.351; 5.051±7.754 vs 3.091±4.385 ng/ml; and 4.173±6.692 vs 3.562±4.113 ng/mL, respectively (p>0,05). It can be concluded that the differences in synchronization protocols between PGF2α versus ovsynch do not affect the performance of estrous and the concentration of progesterone during the estrous cycle of kacang goats.

Background. Malaria control efforts are limited in rural areas. A low-cost system to monitor response without the use of electricity is needed. Plasmodium aldolase is a malaria biomarker measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques. A three-part system using ELISA was developed consisting of a microfluidic chip, hand crank centrifuge, and a smartphone. Methods. A circular microfluidic chip was fabricated using clear acrylic and a CO2 laser. A series of passive valves released reagents at precise times based upon centrifugal force. Color change was measured via smartphone camera using an application programmed in Java. The microchip was compared to a standard 96-well sandwich ELISA. Results. Results from standard ELISA were compared to microchip at varying concentrations (1–10 ng/mL). Over 15 different microfluidic patterns were tested, and a final prototype of the chip was created. The prototype microchip was compared to standard sandwich ELISA (n=20) using samples of recombinant aldolase. Color readings of standard ELISA and microfluidic microchip showed similar results. Conclusion. A low-cost microfluidic system could detect and follow therapeutic outcomes in rural areas and identify resistant strains.
