Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed with the use of a strain of C. trachomatis, lymphogranuloma venereum serotype 2. The ELISA reactions were monitored by absorbance at 492 nm in a spectrophotometer. A positive control method based on 1 serum dilution was used to assign ELISA titers to the sera. Sera that had been tested by complement fixation (CF) and microimmunofluorescence (MIF) tests were examined with ELISA. ELISA was more sensitive than the CF test and as sensitive as the MIF test. Serum pairs that had diagnostic titer rises in the other tests also had such rises in ELISA. ELISA is a simple, sensitive assay for detection of antibody to C. trachomatis.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
