Direct FLIAS was found to be less timeconsuming than indirect ELISA. For direct FLISA, recovery of 1 -500 ppb OA added to wheat was78.9-100.0% and rice was 88.9- 120.0%. For indirect EI.IAS, recovery of 1-500 ppb OA addedto wheat was 79.0- 110.0% and rice was 82.0 120.0%. The minimal detection level for OA was Ippb. Analyses of 31 samples that caused humanintoxicant for OA showed that the ELISA resultsagreed wtll with those obtained by thin-layer chromatogrdphy.展开更多

The lipoprotein LppQ encoded by lppQ gene is specific to MmmSC and is found in the type strain and in field strains isolated in Europe, Africa, and Australia, as well as in vaccine strains. No serological cross-reactions were observed with the related mycoplasmas of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. The N-terminal domain of the mature lipoprotein LppQ is hydrophilic, and it induces a strong, specific, early, and persistent immune response in naturally and experimentally infected animals. Mycoplasma-specific TGA （Trp） codons are utilized as stop codons in most other organisms. The lppQ N-terminal fragment from MmmSC HVRI X strain, the Chinese strain for CF antigen production, was mutated with one-step overlapping extension PCR. Sequence analysis confirmed the successful mutation from A to G in codon 198 in the lppQ gene. The fragment containing the mutation site was subcloned into the pET32a expression vector. The recombinant protein with molecular weight of 42 kDa was purified using the Ni-NTA His.Bind purification kit, with a purity of up to 95%. Western blot indicated that the standard positive serum of CBPP could react with the recombinant protein. The purified protein was diluted to 0.35 μg mL^-1, and coated to microtiter enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） plates. Indirect ELISA reaction conditions were optimized. The value of P/N was determined to be 4.8 （0.934/0.193）, the sensitivity to be 95.8% （46/48）, and the specificity to be 98.9% （161/163）. 3 817 cattle serum samples from three different provinces were detected by the indirect ELISA and CFT. The Kappa value is 0.63, which is middle or high agreement between the two methods.展开更多

Recent developments in cytokine quantification such as multiple arrays measure multiple cytokines simultaneously. Although good correlations between ELISA and multiplex methods have been observed, side by side comparisons are limited. In the present study we hypothesized that ELISA and Luminex techniques are comparable in detecting cytokines in culture medium when pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) are exposed to stress. Primary human PASMC were cultured in modular chambers and exposed to 21% FiO2 and peak inspiratory and positive end expiratory pressure of 24 and 8 cmH2O respectively, and 95% FiO2. At 24 hours, culture medium was collected and assayed for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 by quantitative ELISA and by Human Cytokine 25-Plex Panel using a Luminex 200 analyzer. A comparative analysis of agreement between our ELISA and Luminex data was detailed for control and stress conditions using the Bland-Altman plot analysis. Each assay resulted in comparable increased (p < 0.001) levels of IL-6 and IL-8 as compared to control in response to oxidative and biophysical stress. The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated that 95% of the differences between ELISA and Luminex values were within ±1.96 SD from the mean difference indicated by the 95% limits of agreement for the measurements of IL-6 and IL-8. There was no systematic bias as a function of inflammation level. We conclude that in this cell culture model, ELISA and Luminex are comparable in detecting the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in the culture medium. If measurements of multiple cytokines are demanded and the amount of sample is limited, Luminex multi-analyte profiling technology is accurate and sensitive.展开更多

The linear range of the CI-ELISA was from 0.5 to 128 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.35 ng/mL. Good recoveries were obtained in analyzing simulated swine urine samples. The CGIA could accurately estimate OFL at concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL in less than 10 min, and test results were read visually without any instrument.展开更多
