The objective of this study was to analyze different immunoglobulins classes (IgG, IgM, IgE and IgA) against Cysticercus cellulosae in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), through enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), correlating them to clinical and tomographic profiles in patients with neurocysticercosis (NCC). Eighty-five specimens of CSF were obtained from 43 cases with NCC (26 with the active form and 17 with the inactive form) and from 42 patients with other neurological diseases. The inactive form of NCC presented a profile in CSF similar to the group without NCC. The active form of NCC presented elevation of specific immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgE, and IgA) in decreasing order, with the highest values being detected among the cases with intraventricular cysts, or with inflammation signs in CSF or in those with multiple clinical manifestations. The highest sensitivity and specificity were obtained with ELISA-IgG (88.5% and 93.2%, respectively). This study confirmed the importance of ELISA in the immunologic diagnosis of NCC.

A dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DOT-ELISA) was developed to detect specific antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for human neurocysticercosis immunodiagnosis, with Cysticercus cellulosae antigen dotted on a new solid-phase. This was represented by sheets of a synthetic polyester fabric impregnated with a polymerized resin (N-methylol-acrylamide). A very stable preparation was thus obtained, the antigen being covalently bound by cross-linking with free N-methylol groups on the resin. Since robust, no special care was necessary for handling the solid-phase. The test could be performed at room-temperature. From 30 CSF samples assayed, 14 were positive, from a group of 15 cases of neurocysticercosis, with titers from 1 to 128; 15 other samples, from normals or other neurological diseases, were all negative. Test characteristics seem to indicate it as adequate for epidemiological surveys. A more detailed study on sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and the use in serum samples is being conducted.

Sweet potato stem and root rot is an important bacterial disease and often causes serious economic losses to sweet potato. Development of rapid and sensitive detection methods is crucial for diagnosis and management of this disease in field. Here, we report the production of four hybridoma cell lines (25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10) using Dickeya dadantii strain FY1710 as an immunogen. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced by these four hybridoma cell lines were highly specific and sensitive for D. dadantii detection. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (indirect-ELISA) results showed that the four MAbs 25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10 could detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted to 4.89 × 104, 4.89 × 104, 9.78 × 104, and 9.78 × 104 CFU/ml, respectively. Furthermore, all four MAbs can react strongly and specifically with all four D. dadantii strains used in this study, not with the other seven tested bacterial strains. Using these four MAbs, three different serological approaches, triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA), dot-ELISA, and tissue-print-ELISA, were developed for detection of D. dadantii in crude extracts prepared from field-collected sweet potato plants. Among these three methods, TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA were used to detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted up to 1.23 × 104 and 1.17 × 106 CFU/ml, respectively, or in sweet potato crude extracts diluted up to 1:3,840 and 1:1,920 (wt/vol, grams per milliliter), respectively. Surprisingly, both TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA serological approaches were more sensitive than the conventional PCR. Analyses using field-collected sweet potato samples showed that the newly developed TAS-ELISA, dot-ELISA, or tissue-print-ELISA were reliable in detecting D. dadantii in sweet potato tissues. Thus, the three serological approaches were highly valuable for diagnosis of stem and root rot in sweet potato production.

The objective of the present work was to standardize and evaluate indirect plate and dot- enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified Paramphistomum epiclitum homologous antigens in the small ruminants. Electrophoretic separation of somatic antigen (PeSAg) in reducing condition on 15% polyacrylamide gel resolved into 16 proteins of the molecular weight ranging from 14 -100 kDa. Two step ethanolic precipitation of supernatant of in-vitro culture of the fluke yielded P. epiclitum excretory-secretory antigen (PeESAg) of molecular weight 28 kDa. The animals (Goats=123; Sheep=91) were broadly kept into post-mortem and faecal examined groups. At many occasion the PeSAg found to cross reacts with other helminths parasites thus minimizing the specificity of the tests and antigens. There was no any direct correlation between the parasites load and ELISA reactivity pattern. The noted prevalence rate after combining the results of post-mortem examination and PeESAg based ELISA (plate and paper/ dot) was 30.08% (37/123) in goats and 28.57% (26/91) in sheep. While using PeESAg, the calculated overall sensitivity% was 92.86 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in both plate and dot-ELISA, specificity% was 91.58 (goats)/ 91.55 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 88.42 (goats)/ 92.96 (sheep) in dot-ELISA, positive predictive value% was 76.47 (goats)/ 76.92 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 70.27 (goats)/ 80 (sheep) in dot-ELISA and negative predictive value% was 97.75 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 97.67 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in dot-ELISA, these values were optimum for the field sera sample so the tests and PeESAg can be recommended for the detection P. epiclitum infection in the small ruminants.

The usefulness of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on nitrocellulose membranes (dot–ELISA) for diagnosis and identification of plant pathogenic bacteria was tested. Five pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris and two antisera, one produced against pv. vesicatoria and the other against pv. translucens, were used in a model system. A 10-min incubation of the bacterial cells, dot blotted on membranes, in diluted sera, followed by either alkaline phosphatase conjugated protein A or goat antirabbit globulin, resulted in a specific reaction between the homologous serum and bacteria. Populations of 1000–2000 cfu per spot (ca. 0.3 cm2) could be detected with these reagents. The streptavidin–biotinylated peroxidase complex produced a definitive reaction with as few as 800 cfu, but cross-reactions became evident at the higher cell concentrations among all five pathovars in tests with both antisera. Cell-free extracts, obtained by centrifugation of boiled bacteria, reacted similarly to live cells. Unrelated bacteria did not react with either antiserum. Extracts of lesions from tomato and pepper leaves infected with X. campestris pv. vesicatoria reacted positively with the antiserum produced against this pathovar but not that produced with pv. translucens. Samples of supernatants from boiled lesions reacted with similar intensity as those from homogenized tissues.
