Development and Evaluation of a Sensitive PCR-ELISA System for Detection of Schistosoma Infection in Feces
20 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA) was developed to overcome the need for sensitive techniques for the efficient diagnosis of Schistosoma infection in endemic settings with low parasitic burden. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: This system amplifies a 121-base pair tandem repeat DNA sequence, immobilizes the resultant 5' biotinylated product on streptavidin-coated strip-well...
