Sensitivity and specificity of enzyme immunoassay for serodiagnosis of influenza A virus infections. 1980

G W Hammond, and S J Smith, and G R Noble

Antibodies to influenza virus in sera from 40 patients infected with influenza A/USSR/90/77H1N1-like virus were measured by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and results were compared with those obtained by complement-fixation (CF) and hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) tests. The sensitivity of EIA in detecting an increase in influenza antibody in sera from these 40 patients was intermediate (27 of 40) between the CF test (19 of 40) and the HAI test (35 of 40) when an ether-treater influenza A/USSR/77 virus was used as antigen in all three tests. In contrast with results from HAI tests, however, EIA did not reliably distinguish between infections caused by H1N1 and H3N2 viruses; EIA was thus most comparable in specificity to the CF test. It appears, therefore, that both EIA and CF tests measure antibodies directed to internal antigens common to all type A influenza strains, and that EIA with whole or ether-split influenza virus antigen may be a feasible alternative to the CF test for the type-specific serodiagnosis of influenza infections.

D007251 Influenza, Human An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
