우유내 Salmonella를 검출하기 위한 Sandwich ELISA의 특이성을 조사하였다. Sandwich ELISA에 사용한 항체들은 OMP 분획을 닭에 면역주사하여 얻은 IgY와 OMP 분획을 gel filtration하여 얻은 분자량 40,000의 OMP를 토끼에 면역 주사하여 얻은 토끼 IgG를 사용하였다. Immnoblot assay에서 IgY는 분자량 6,000의 OMP에 강하게 반응하였으며 토끼 IgG는 분자량 40,000, 35,000과 6,000의 OMP들에 강하게 반응하였다. IgY와 토끼 IgG는 Salmonella typhimurium의 다른 단백질에도 반응하였다. Competitive ELISA에서 IgY가 Salmonella의 두 개 균주에 대해 특이성을 나타냈으며 Eshcherchia coli와 Yersinia enterocolitica에 의하여서는 반응을 나타내지 않았다. 우유에 세균을 첨가하여 실시한 sandwich ELISA에서 Salmonella typhimurium 2균주가 가장 높은 흡광도를 보였다. Salmonella cholerasuis 균주들은 상대적으로 흡광도가 낮았으며 이루 일부 Salmonella cholerasuis 균주들은 비 Salmonella 균주들과 차이가 없었다.

Toxoplasmosis has been well known as an important human infection to consider especially in pregnant women. Although many serologic methods are available, the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis can be extremely difficult. The presence of increased levels of Toxoplasma-specific IgG antibodies indicates an infection, but it does not differentiate between a recent and past infection. The purpose of our study was to compare the performance of the ELISA T. gondii IgG/IgM test, a widely used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, to the ELISA IgG avidity method. One hundred and four serum samples (from 38 males and 66 females) were tested and evaluated from symptomatic patients (chorioretinitis, lymphadenopathy), and from women in their first trimester of pregnancy who were suspected of having toxoplasmosis, The high IgG avidity and ELISA IgG antibody levels were in agreement for 51 of the specimens (49.0％). Thirty-eight discrepant (borderline) results from the IgG avidity method were positive for IgM (3 specimens) and IgG (37 specimens). Interestingly, out of the eight serum samples that were positive for both IgG and IgM antibodies, two samples were low IgG avidity, and three samples were borderline. There was no statistically significant relation observed between the results of the IgG avidity method and the ELISA IgG test, and the IgG avidity method and ELISA IgM test (X$^2$=1.987; p=0.370 and X$^2$=2.152; p=0.341, respectively). The IgG avidity method was considered easy to perform and an acceptable approach for the differentiation of discrepant results (recent/chronic) and for the current detection of T. gondii antibodies. We concluded that the determination of IgG avidity is a helpful tool for the diagnosis of the ocular form of toxoplasmosis and it is a safe method for screening this disease in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Mumps is an extremly common infectious disease affecting predominantly young children hut it is not a severe disease in terms of mortality. One hundred and two sera from infants of 3 different groups which are vaccinated, unvaccinated and unknown were detected to mumps antibody. The tests used were Complement Fixation(CF) test, Single Radial Hemolysis(SRH) test, Hemagglutination Inhibition(HI) test, Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Immunoglobulin G(ELISA IgG) test, Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Immunoglobulin M(ELISA IgM) test. 1. The rate of positivity for mumps antibody in 102 sera wera 89.16%(74/83) by Hl test, 68.83%(53/77) by ELISA IgG test, 64.58%(62/96) by SRH test, 63.24%(43/68) by ELISA IgM test and 50.00%(49/98) by CF test. 2. The rate of positivity by 5 tests for 55 sera turned out to be very similar with above results respectively. 3. The correlation coefficients(r) between ELISA IgG test ant H1 test, ELISA IgG test and ELISA IgM test were 0.34(P<0.0l) and 0.31(P<0.02), respectively. 4. The percentage of apparently natural infection of mumps seemed to be 65.15%(43/66) in infants. 5. Seroconversion rate of mumps by vaccination were 90.91%(10/11). 6. Among the 53 infants who were tested with ELISA IgG 15 were below 15 months age of(28.30%) and this percentage may be taken as a suggestion that mumps vaccination should be given earlier than present practice. 7. ELISA IgG test was found very sensitive and recommendable method for large scale screening for the presence of antibody to mumps.

감마선 조사된 새우의 신속한 판별을 위한 방법으로 갈색새우의 TPM을 항원으로 하여 개별적으로 생산된 M-IgG와 P-IgG를 이용한 Sandwich ELISA를 분석법으로 확립하였다. M-IgG를 항원 포획을 이한 coating 항체로 사용하고, P-IgG를 포획된 TPM에 대한 반응항체로 사용하였을 때, 12.5에서 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL의 농도 범위에서 TPM을 정량할 수 있었다. 감마선 조사된 새우의 TPM 농도는 선량에 의존하며 감소하였고, 감마선 조사와 가열 또는 냉동 등의 병용 처리에서도 선량에 의존하며 감소하였다. 이 결과는 면역분석기법의 하나인 Sandwich ELISA가 감마선 조사된 새우의 검지법으로 이용될 수 있다는 가능성을 나타내었다.

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan that is distributed worldwide. Recently, several tests for avidity of Toxoplasma IgG antibodies have been introduced to help discriminate between recently acquired and distant infections. The study was conducted in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, India from February 2011 to September 2012. Serum specimens were subjected to Toxoplasma IgM ELISA and IgG avidity ELISA test. Out of 48 patients with abortions, 17 (35.4%) were positive for IgM ELISA, and 8 (16.6%) had low IgG avidity antibodies. Out of 48 patients with other obstetric problems, 23 (47.9%) were positive for IgM ELISA, and 17 (35.4%) had low IgG avidity antibodies. Combining both groups on avidity test, only 25 of 40 (62.5 %) IgM-positive women had low-avidity IgG antibodies suggesting a recent T. gondii infection in these women. More importantly, 15 (37.5%) of the IgM-positive women had high-avidity antibodies suggesting that the infection was acquired before gestation The relation of IgM seropositivity with the following risk factors was not found to be statistically significant; contact with cats (0.13), non-vegetarian food habits (0.05), and low socio-economic status (0.49). While, for IgG avidity ELISA, only contact with cats (0.01) was significantly associated with seropositivity. All other risk factors have P-values of >0.05 (not significant). IgG avidity test when used in combination with IgM test was a valuable assay for diagnosis of ongoing or recently acquired T. gondii infection in India.

The chicken meat has been reported as one of the food causing allergic reactions predominantly to Korean. At present, several in vitro tests for immunoglobulinG (IgG)-mediated as well as IgE-mediated food allergy are available. 13 clinically chicken meat-allergic patients were investigated together with 4control subjects for identification of chicken meat-specific reactivity by ELISA. Also, protein profile and IgE, IgGtotal and IgG4-reacting allergens were detected by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis (SDS-PAGE)and immunoblotting. Chicken meat extracts were prepared as raw, heated, heat and simulated gastric fluid (SGF) treated samples to characterize the stability of allergen to physicochemical treatment. SDS-PAGE revealed 9~200 kDa bands. And in immunoblotting 7 sera were identified most major bands between 10 and 78 kDa. In case of IgE, six proteins (17, 26, 35, 40, 78 kDa) were predominant in heat-treated extract, and the one (35 kDa) was present in SGF-treated preparations. In case of IgG$_{total}$ and IgG4, most of them showed a patters simmilar to IgE. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in IgE, IgG$_{total}$ , IgG4 Abs to chicken meat between the allergic and control subjects in ELISA. In addition, the concentration of IgG4Abs in the challenge-positive subjects was significantly higher than that of control subjects. It is considered that the specific IgE response to chicken meat was rarely prevalent to Koreans. However, the specific IgG4 response play an important role in the development of allergic symptoms.

Numerous studies have been focused on the immunologic aspects of inflamed pulp and periapical tissues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate levels of serum IgG and IgM in patients of acute pulpitis and acute apical abscess using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Bacteroides intermedius and Bacteroides gingivalis were grown for use as antigen and they were harvested by centrifugation. The patients were divided into 3 groups; patients of acute apical abecess, acute pulpitis and normal control 5 patients of each group were selected and their blood was obtained via intravenous puncture. Sera were prepared by centrifugation of each blood samples. Then serum antibodies were measured by modified ELISA. The following results were obtained; 1. Serum IgM levels of patients with acute pulpitis and acute apical abscess seemed to be slightly higher than those of normal control 2. Serum IgG levels of patients with acute apical abscess were slightly higher than those of normal control 3. Serum IgG and IgM levels of acute apical abscess patients and serum IgM levels of acute pulpitis were highest to Bacteroides gingivalis.

Serum samples, 100 in the total number, were collected from different laboratories in Tehran, Iran and tested for anti-Toxoplasma specific IgG and IgM antibodies using indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Using the IgG (chronic) and IgM (acute) positive samples, the IgG avidity test was performed by ELISA in duplicate rows of 96-well microtiter plates. One row was washed with 6 M urea and the other with PBS (pH 7.2), then the avidity index (AI) was calculated. Sixteen out of 18 (88.9%) sera with acute toxoplasmosis showed low avidity levels ($AI{\leq}50$), and 76 out of 82 (92.7%) sera in chronic phase of infection showed high avidity index (AI>60). Six sera had borderline ranges of AI. The results showed that the IgG avidity test by ELISA could distinguish the acute and chronic stages of toxoplasmosis in humans.
