Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA for the detection of antibodies in the human leptospirosis Teste imunoenzimático (ELISA) para detecção de anticorpos circulantes da classe IgA na leptospirose humana

The assay proved to be sensitive and specific when compared with the ELISA-IgM, in the examinated serum samples. The results found suggest that IgA antibodies became positive late...

Summary: | An Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA was evaluated for the detection of IgA antibodies in the human leptospirosis. The assay proved to be sensitive and specific when compared with the ELISA-IgM, in the examinated serum samples. The results found suggest that IgA antibodies became positive later in leptospirosis, and will can be an evolutive indicator in the development of the disease O teste imunoenzimático (ELISA) foi avaliado para detecção de anticorpos da classe IgA na leptospirose humana. Nas amostras de soro analisadas o teste demonstrou ser sensível e específico, quando comparado ao teste ELISA-IgM. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que os anticorpos da classe IgA aparecem tardiamente na leptospirose, e poderão ser um marcador sorológico evolutivo na progressão da doença |
