Hybrid clones producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for Salmonella paratyphi A (72 clones), S. paratyphi B (9 clones) and S. paratyphi C (8 clones) were produced by using the affinity purified Salmonella protein (Bp) as immunogens. MAbs to S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B reacted specifically with the 52 kDa homologous flagellin protein components while those to S. paratyphi C reacted with a 61 kDa flagellin protein component. The MAbs against S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B were used to establish a double antibody sandwich ELISA for detection of the 52 kDa flagellin antigens in serum samples from patients with acute paratyphoid A and paratyphoid B fever. With this assay system, 6.25 ng per ml of flagellin antigens of S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B could be detected. However, the assay system could not detect the flagellin antigens in patients' sera. The presence of IgM antibodies to the 52 kDa antigens of S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B in the acute sera from paratyphoid A or paratyphoid B patients suggested that the 52 kDa protein components of both salmonellae are good immunogens for human and might be used as antigens for early diagnosis of paratyphoid A and paratyphoid B fever.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010284 Paratyphoid Fever A prolonged febrile illness commonly caused by several Paratyphi serotypes of SALMONELLA ENTERICA. It is similar to TYPHOID FEVER but less severe. Fever, Paratyphoid,Fevers, Paratyphoid,Paratyphoid Fevers
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. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked
D005408 Flagellin A protein with a molecular weight of 40,000 isolated from bacterial flagella. At appropriate pH and salt concentration, three flagellin monomers can spontaneously reaggregate to form structures which appear identical to intact flagella.

D000942 Antigens, Bacterial Substances elaborated by bacteria that have antigenic activity. Bacterial Antigen,Bacterial Antigens,Antigen, Bacterial
D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
