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 ...

Rapid Detection of Staphylococcus aureus Panton-Valentine Leukocidin in Clinical Specimens by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay and Immunochromatographic Tests [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010 ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus strains producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) have been epidemiologically linked to specific human infections. To evaluate immunological tests that may be used to diagnose infections with PVL-producing strains, we prospectively collected pus, respiratory tract specimens, and joint ...

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.

Clinical Correlation of a Clostridium difficile Testing Algorithm Reflexing PCR Positive Specimens to Toxin Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) [PDF]
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2017 Abstract Background An algorithm promoted in the United Kingdom reflexes specimens positive for C. difficile by a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) to toxin EIA. Samples positive by NAAT and negative by toxin EIA are reported as “C. difficile could be present (ie, potential C. difficile excretor).

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

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
