This study aimed to develop a Survivin ELISA and validate its value in the detection of bladder cancer. Methods： Through square matrix titration, different combinations of coating antibody and detecting antibody, a Survivin ELISA was constructed. This assay was evaluated according to intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision and minimum detectable dose （MDD）. Survivin levels were detected and analyzed in 102 bladder cancer patients and 102 healthy people by established ELISA. Then cutoff value was defined according to the analysis of receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve. The sensitivity and specificity of detection were calculated on the basis of cutoff value to diagnose bladder cancer patients. Furthermore, the value of Survivin expression detected by ELISA among different clinicopathological characteristics of patients was also compared. Results： Through optimization of different conditions, intra-assay precision was 8.39%, inter-assay precision 8.57% and MDD 0.0625 ng/mL in this assay. When the optical density at 450 nm （OD 450 ） was 0.09, it could get the optimized diagnostic cutoff value. According to this value, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis in bladder cancer patients were 70.6% and 89.2%, respectively. The associations between patients＇ clinical variables and OD 450 were not significant except tumor numbers in patients. Conclusions： This experiment has preliminarily developed a Survivin ELISA and confirmed Survivin as a biomarker which owned a practical and significant value in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.展开更多

Therefore, a 384-well plate format was developed for the median tissue culture infectious dose assay (TCID50) utilizing the detection of nucleoprotein by an in situ en-zyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which was optimized for sensitivity in this assay. Highly pathogenic avian influenza, A/Vietnam/ 1203/04 (H5N1), and interpandemic strains, A/ New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1) and A/Brisbane/ 10/07 (H3N2), were quantified using this high- throughput assay. Each 384-well plate can be used to analyze ten viral samples in quadrupli-cate, eight dilutions per sample, including all necessary assay controls. The results obtained from 384-well plates were comparable to tradi-tional 96-well plates and also demonstrate re-peatability, intermediate precision, and assay linearity. Further, the use of 384-well plates in-creased the throughput of sample analysis and the precision and accuracy of the resulting titer.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

文摘Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the most widely used method for measuring a single cytokine. 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.
文摘In thes paper the authors used the Horseradish peroxidase labelledstaphylococcal protein A(HRP—SPA)in ELISA,for the detection of Clo-norchis sinensis infection.Serum tests were made on 116 confirmed cases ofclonorchiasis,103(88.8%)of them showed positive,while only 6(4.4%)werepositive among 138 healthy people.Samples were collected on filter paperstrips,111(95.7%)cases were positive among 116 comfirmed cases tested,but only 2(1.5%)were positive out of 138 healthy persons.The resultswere similar to those obtained by sheep antihuman IgG.Animal experimentalso showed that the SPA—ELISA can be used for the diagnosis ofclonorchiasis.In an endemic area,stool egg positive rate was 8.8%(62/703).whenchecked with SPA—ELISA,the rate of conformity in both filter paperstrips and stool examinations was 90.3(56/62).Among 641 serum testsfrom individuals negative in stool examinations,only 35(5.5%)reactedpositively.The authors suggested—that SPA—ELISA with soluble Clo-norchis antigens could be used in a large scale seroepidemiological surveyin endemic areas.

文摘In this study,an enzyme 1linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was established to detect beef and 1amb components,and its performance was tested.Double-antibody sandwich ELISA was adopted and determined a coating concentration of capture antibody 3G5 of 1:4000,a working concentration of enzyme-labeled antibody 2E7-horseradish peroxidase(HRP)of 1:1000,a sample incubation time of 60 min and a detection antibody reaction time of 60 min.The specificity,sensitivity,repeatability and stability of this assay were detemmined.The limit of detection for beef and 1amb skeleta1 muscle troponin I was 45 mg/kg,the inter-assay and intra-assay recovery rates ranged from 80.4%to 115.7%,the coefficients of variation were below 13.6%,and the cIoss reaction rates of the tissue components of chicken,duck and fish were below 13.4%.The sandwich ELISA method established in this study is stable and has high accuracy.The test results were consistent with the polymerase chain reaction(PCR)method at 50 and 100 g/kg-Therefore,this ELISA method can be used to quantitatively detect beef and 1amb components in meat products.
