Comparison of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the indirect hemagglutination test for detection of antibody to cytomegalovirus. 1977

G A Castellano, and G T Hazzard, and D L Madden, and J L Sever

Thirty samples of serum were tested for antibody to cytomegalovirus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect hemagglutination (IHA). The two tests were in extremely close agreement. Of the 30 sera evaluated by ELISA, 16 were considered to be positive and 14 were considered negative. In all 16 positive samples, the titers by ELISA were at least twofold to 10-fold higher than the indirect hemagglutination titers. Two of the 14 sera evaluated as negative by the ELISA test had low indirect hemagglutination titers (1:8 and 1:4). They were not detectable at the initial dilution (1:50) of the ELISA test. These two sera might have been classified as positive if the initial dilution in ELISA had been lower than 1:50.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

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.
