Tricyclics ELISA Kit
Tricyclics ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: The immunoenzymatic determination of antibodies against Trichinella spiralis is based on the ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) technique. Microtiter strip wells are precoated with Trichinella spiralis ES-antigens (Excretory/Secretory antigens) to bind corresponding antibodies of the specimen. After washing the wells to remove all unbound sample material horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labelled Protein A Conjugate is added. This conjugate binds to the captured Trichinella spiralis-specific antibodies. The immune complex formed by the bound conjugate is visualized by adding Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate which gives a blue reaction product. The intensity of this product is proportional to the amount of Trichinella spiralis specific antibodies in the sample. Sulphuric acid is added to stop the reaction. This produces a yellow endpoint color. Absorbance alternative 450 nm is read using an ELISA microwell plate reader!!Background/Introduction: Trichinosis (also called trichinellosis) is caused by nematodes (roundworms) of the genus Trichinella. In addition to the classical agent Trichinella spiralis, which is found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals, four other species (T. pseudospiralis, T. nativa, T. nelsoni, and T. britovi) are recognized. Trichinosis is acquired by ingesting meat containing cysts of Trichinella. After exposure to gastric acid and pepsin, the larvae are released from the cysts and invade the small bowel mucosa where they develop into adult worms (female 2.2 mm in length, males 1.2 mm). After 1 week, the females release larvae that migrate to the striated muscles where they encyst. Encystment is completed in 4 to 5 weeks and the encysted larvae may remain viable for several years. Ingestion of the encysted larvae perpetuates the cycle. Trichinosis infection occurs worldwide, but is most common in parts of Europe and the United States. Light infections may be asymptomatic. For mild to moderate infections, most symptoms subside within a few months whereas fatigue, weakness, and diarrhoea may last for months. In severe cases, death can occur.
