An immunochromatographic test for serological diagnosis of scrub typhus.

A fluorescent immunochromatographic test (FM-ICT) was developed for rapid detection of anti-Orientia tsutsugamushi antibodies in serum samples. The FM-ICT was constructed based on the dual-antigen sandwich method. Truncated 56 kDa outer membrane protein of O.

A rapid colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay based on polyclonal antibodies against HtpsC protein for the detection of .

An efficient and rapid immunochromatographic assay (ICA) has been engineered for the detection of (). The underpinning principle of this ICA test lies in the use of polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) decorated with colloidal gold, which are specific to These pAbs were derived from rabbits immunized with type II histidine triad protein (HtpsC) and HtpsC-N of . The sensitivity of the ICA was noteworthy, identifying at bacterial concentrations as diminutive as 1.
