Comparison of two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for detection of herpes simplex virus antigen. 1986

A L Warford, and R A Levy, and C A Strong, and K A Rekrut

Two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) antigen in direct clinical specimens were compared with cell culture in primary rabbit kidney and MRC-5. With a total of 238 specimens, the sensitivity and specificity of the Dako ELISA method were determined to be 70.1% and 82.4%, respectively, and 60.4% and 88.2%, respectively, for the Ortho Antigen ELISA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
