An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with antibodies specific to beta, epsilon and iota ib toxins of Clostridium perfringens was developed to detect beta, epsilon and iota ib toxins, respectively. The ELISA was sensitive enough to detect as little as 1.0 ng/ml of purified beta and iota ib toxins and 0.1 ng/ml of purified epsilon toxin. By means of the ELISA method, 192 isolates of C. perfringens from food samples in Japan and Thailand, and 58 isolates from patients suffering from gas gangrene or gastroenteritis were examined. One isolate from food samples in Japan, three from food samples in Thailand and five from stools of patients with gastroenteritis were C. perfringens type D. One type B and one type C were detected from the stools of patients with gastroenteritis.

D003016 Clostridium perfringens The most common etiologic agent of GAS GANGRENE. It is differentiable into several distinct types based on the distribution of twelve different toxins. Clostridium welchii
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D036002 ADP Ribose Transferases Enzymes that transfer the ADP-RIBOSE group of NAD or NADP to proteins or other small molecules. Transfer of ADP-ribose to water (i.e., hydrolysis) is catalyzed by the NADASES. The mono(ADP-ribose)transferases transfer a single ADP-ribose. POLY(ADP-RIBOSE) POLYMERASES transfer multiple units of ADP-ribose to protein targets, building POLY ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE RIBOSE in linear or branched chains.
