Abstract excerpt
Serodiagnosis of infectious disease is often based on the detection of pathogen-specific antibodies in a patient's blood. For this, mixtures of pathogen-related antigens are used as bait to capture corresponding antibodies in solid phase immunoassays such as enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Western blots provide improved diagnostic power as compared with EIA due to the fact that the mixture of markers in the EIA well is...
