The dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) was compared to the indirect immunofluorescent assay (IIFA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the detection of malaria antibodies. Of 281 sera tested by dot-ELISA, 220 were from Ethiopia, 11 from the Sudan, and 50 from Egypt. A close correlation between the dot-ELISA and RIA results was observed in 92% of the 220 Ethiopian cases. Of the remainder, 6% gave positive RIA and negative dot-ELISA results, and 2% gave positive dot-ELISA and negative RIA results. Antibody titres determined by dot-ELISA and RIA were positively correlated in 10 of the 11 Sudanese cases tested by direct microscopical examination. The eleventh case was positive by dot-ELISA at 1:1000 dilution, but negative by RIA and direct examination. With the 50 Egyptian sera, the dot-ELISA results showed close correspondence to the IIFA results, but the dot-ELISA was 20-40 fold more sensitive than the IIFA. To test specificity, 62 samples from patients with 11 different diseases and conditions were examined by dot-ELISA. No malaria antibodies were detected in any of these or in sera from healthy controls. Dot-ELISA is a potentially useful method for sero-epidemiological studies of malaria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

D010963 Plasmodium falciparum A species of protozoa that is the causal agent of falciparum malaria (MALARIA, FALCIPARUM). It is most prevalent in the tropics and subtropics. Plasmodium falciparums,falciparums, Plasmodium
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
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.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
