Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of capsular antibodies against Haemophilus influenzae type b: comparison with radioimmunoassay. 1983

S L Kaplan, and E O Mason, and G Johnson, and R A Broughton, and D Hurley, and J C Parke

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is described for detection of anti-capsular antibodies against Haemophilus influenzae type b. Polyribosephosphate was covalently bonded to poly-L-lysine before adsorption to microtiter plates. ELISA immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M anti-polyribosephosphate antibody titers were comparable to total anti-polyribosephosphate antibody concentration determined by radioimmunoassay. The ELISA technique will be useful for further investigations of host response to infections due to H. influenzae type b but is not intended to be used as a serological method for documenting H. influenzae type b infections.

D010428 Pentosephosphates
D011135 Polysaccharides, Bacterial Polysaccharides found in bacteria and in capsules thereof. Bacterial Polysaccharides
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
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
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.
