Detection of antibodies to Sendai virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [PDF]
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to Sendai virus, a paramyxovirus, is described. The assay was found to be about 20-fold more sensitive than the hemagglutination inhibition assay.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

The validity of indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA) in the detection of Schistosoma haematobium infection relative to microscopic examination [PDF]
Background : Several schistosome serodiagnostic assays have been developed over the last years, most of them are designed for the detection of anti-schistosomal antibodies which might remain for long periods of time after treatment, this study aimed to ...

TIV vaccination modulates host responses to influenza virus infection that correlate with protection against bacterial superinfection [PDF]
Background: Influenza virus infection predisposes to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Currently licensed influenza vaccines aim at the induction of neutralizing antibodies and are less effective if the induction of neutralizing antibodies is low and/or the
