Abstract
Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and radioimmunoprecipitation tests were developed for [serodiagnostic] detection of antibodies to R. (Rickettsia) quintana in trench fever. Both were equally sensitive, and both detected more positive [human] sera than passive hemagglutination or immunofluorescence tests. The advantages of EIA are the stability of label and ease and safety of use.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
