Thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) are considered important virulence factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and strains producing either of these or both are considered pathogenic. In this study, we generated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against purified TRH recombinant protein of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using the hybridoma clone 4B10 showed higher sensitivity of detection compared to other clones. Using mAb 4B10 based sandwich ELISA, we could detect pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus in 41.18% (14 out of 34) of the seafood samples analyzed. PCR targeting the toxR gene showed the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in 64.7% (22 out of 34) seafood samples. Further, PCR targeting the virulence genes showed that 6 seafood samples harboured the tdh gene while 9 harboured the trh gene indicating the presence of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus. Our results show that mAb 4B10 sandwich ELISA developed in this study could be used as a rapid method for screening seafood samples for the presence of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008807 Mice, Inbred BALB C An inbred strain of mouse that is widely used in IMMUNOLOGY studies and cancer research. BALB C Mice, Inbred,BALB C Mouse, Inbred,Inbred BALB C Mice,Inbred BALB C Mouse,Mice, BALB C,Mouse, BALB C,Mouse, Inbred BALB C,BALB C Mice,BALB C Mouse
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. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
