A monoclonal antibody-based coagglutination test directly detected Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal in 83 of 120 watery diarrheal stool specimens; on culture, 90 samples were positive. Thus, with 92% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 100% positive and 95% negative predictive values, the coagglutination test is a useful rapid test for V. cholerae O139.

Glycocholic acid (GCA) is a biomarker for liver diseases, but few facile naked-eye detection methods have been reported to detect it till now. To tackle this challenge, we first prepared a novel monoclonal mouse antibody (mAb) of GCA by a hybridoma technique. The anti-GCA mAb exhibited high specificity, making its cross-reactivity with seven structurally and functionally related GCA analogs negligible.

Different ancillary immunodiagnostic tests were traditionally-established for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) either cellular or humoral as tuberculin skin test (TST), gamma interferon (INF-γ), and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). These tests had been consumed more time and expensive, and needed sophisticated equipment. To dissolve these problems, serological diagnosis depending on humoral immunity is the aim of this work.

Background And Aim: Newcastle disease (ND) is a viral infection that causes high mortality and economic loss in the poultry industry. The Office International des Epizooties (OIE) recommends several diagnostic methods for the detection of ND, including isolation and molecular tests. However, these detection methods are time-consuming and highly expensive.

Aim: To investigate the time course of changes in the detection rates and levels of Shiga toxin antigen (STA) in their stool and middle-molecule circulating immune complexes (CICs) containing IgG (IgG CIC) in patients with acute intestinal infections (AIIs) in the presence of the body's circulation of mono- and mixed-LPS/O-antigens of intestinal pathogens.
Subjects And Methods: A total of 147 patients aged 15 to 55 years who had been hospitalized with AIIs were examined. The diagnosis was bacteriologically verified in 19% of the patients; in the others, it was confirmed by the detection of LPS/O-antigens of Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, and Campylobacter in their stool by means of the reaction of coagglutination (RCA) on glass slides.
