Estimation of cercarial antigen efficiency by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 1989

M I Roshdan

Cercariae were collected, hemogenized and the amount of protein was measured. ELISA was preformed by using 3 concentrations of cercarial Ag(2.5 ug/ml; 5 ug/ml and 10 ug/ml) also two types of sera were used; immune and non immune. Two dilutions (1:500 and 1:2000) of the conjugate were used in this test. The degree of absorbance was measured after 24 H by spectrophotometer, where the results showed that, the degree of absorbance was increased in the presence of immune sera and also in the presence of 1:500 conjugate concentration, but there was no difference in the degree of absorbance with the use of different Ag concentrations. It is obvious that 2.5 ug/ml of Ag could give very high ELISA readings with infected mice sera.

D007814 Larva Wormlike or grublike stage, following the egg in the life cycle of insects, worms, and other metamorphosing animals. Maggots,Tadpoles,Larvae,Maggot,Tadpole
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.
