Coxsackievirus IgG ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: The ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is an immunoassay, which is particularly suited to the determination of antibodies in the field of infectious serology. The reaction is based on the specific interaction of antibodies with their corresponding antigen. The test strips of the microtiter plate are coated with specific antigens of the pathogen of interest. If antibodies in the serum sample are present, they bind to the fixed antigen. A secondary antibody, which has been conjugated with the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, detects and binds to the immune complex. The colourless substrate p-nitrophenylphosphate is then converted into the coloured product p-nitrophenol. The signal intensity of this reaction product is proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample and is measured photometrically!!Background/Introduction: Members of the order Chlamydiales are gram negative, intracellular bacteria. Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae (Chlamydophila pneumoniae) and Chlamydia psittaci (Chlamydophila psittaci) are the relevant human pathogens. Chlamydia alternates between two morphological forms during its lifecycle, the elementary bodies (EB) and the reticular bodies (RB). The elementary bodies represent the extracellular and metabolically inert stage responsible for infection. Once inside the host-cell, the bacteria transform to the metabolically active reticular bodies. When the reproduction cycle has finished, the bacteria differentiate back to elementary bodies and leave the host. Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted procaryotic pathogens. The bacterium infects preliminary epithelial cells of the urogenital-and respiratory tract as well as cells of the conjunctiva. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, that 90 million people annually become infected by Chlamydia trachomatis. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the prevalence in the European population with this pathogen is approximately 4 to 6 %. Chlamydia trachomatis infections may be asymptomatic in 70 % of females and in up to 50 % of males. Untreated, infections can result in serious damage and complications. The serovars A to C cause ceratoconjunctivits. Chronic infections during childhood can result in trachoma or blindness. Serovars D to K are pathogens of the urogenital tract, responsible for urethritis, proctitis and cervicitis. Salpinigits, endomitritis and perihepatitis are frequently the consequence of untreated cervicitis. Occasionally, fallopian tube obstructions and ectopic pregnancy, which are one of the most common reasons for infertility in women, may result. Furthermore, the risk of a premature delivery for infected pregnant women is also increased. The risk of transfer to the newborn during parturition is around 60% with conjunctivitis or pneumonia as possible sequelae. In addition to urethritis and proctitis, epidiymitis and prostatitis, which may lead to infertility, are possible consequences for men. The serovars L1 to L3 spread systematically through the lymphatic tissue causing the invasive disease known as lymphogranuloma venereum. Stricture and stenosis are the consequences, which have to be treated surgically. In cases of newborn chlamydiosis, circulating plasma-and B-cells generate IgM antibodies in high concentrations. Due to the fact that IgM antibodies are produced earlier than IgG and IgA, they are of higher significance in neonatal. Mahoney and co-workers demonstrated that infected newborns displayed detectable IgM titres within 5 days after contact with the pathogen. The ELISA Chlamydia trachomatis tests are based on a specific domain of the major outer membrane protein (MOMP). The use of this antigen decreases the frequency of false-positive results and consequently increases the specificity of the antibody detection in comparison to Microimmunofluorescence tests and other ELISAs.
