Clinical Specificity of the Enzyme Immunoassay Test for Coccidioidomycosis Varies According to the Reason for Its Performance [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2013 ABSTRACT The diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis relies heavily on serologic test results in addition to clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic findings. Use of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) has increased because it is rapidly performed and does not require referral to a reference laboratory, as do complement fixation and ...

Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Stool Antigen Test Using Bioluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay for Detecting Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2022 Background. BLEIA ™ “EIKEN” Helicobacter pylori antigen (B[EIA]) is based on the bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) method that was newly developed with high sensitivity in detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antigen in feces. Methods. In the project for H.

New perspectives for use of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase in clinical enzymes tests
The Scientific Notes of the I. P. Pavlov St. Petersburg State Medical University, 2016 Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP), isolated from a variety of sources from microorganisms to mammals, including human blood and organs, has been studied sufficiently detailed, which allowed to take a fresh look at the role of this enzyme in cellular metabolism, the pathogenesis of several diseases and its application in clinical medicine.

The Physiological Sources of, Clinical Significance of, and Laboratory-Testing Methods for Determining Enzyme Levels [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 2014 Enzymes are organic molecules that accelerate biochemical reactions but emerge from the reaction unchanged. Abnormal levels of plasma enzymes are highly suggestive of damaged cells and provide clues to parts of the body that may be involved in disease processes. Enzyme levels are measured in the clinical laboratory to identify the site of damage and to

Radical-mediated Electrical Enzyme Assay For At-home Clinical Test [PDF]
To meet the growing demand for accurate, rapid, and cost-effective at-home clinical testing, we developed a radical-mediated enzyme assay (REEA) integrated with a paper fluidic system and electrically read by a handheld field-effect transistor (FET) device. The REEA utilizes horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to catalyze the conversion of aromatic substrates

Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan)Objective A dedicated stool container is required for Helicobacter pylori stool antigen testing. If H. pylori fecal antigen can be measured from a fecal occult blood test container (S fecal collection container or S container), which is widely used for colorectal cancer screening, screening of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract can be performed

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2014 Background: Carbapenem antibiotics are a subtype of beta-lactam antibiotics, which can play an important role in the treatment of severe infections and multi-drug resistant bacteria. The most important mechanism of resistance to carbapenems is carbapenemase production.
