Detection of h5 avian influenza viruses by antigen capture elisa using h5-s
2007-03-10 00:50:02 Related Articles Detection of H5 avian influenza viruses by antigen capture ELISA using H5-specific monoclonal antibody. Clin Vaccine Immunol. 2007 Mar 7; Authors: He Q, Velumani S, Du Q, Lim CW, Ng FK, Donis R, Kwang J The unprecedented spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) subtype H5N1 in Asia and Europe is threatening animals and public health systems. Effective diagnosis and control management are needed to control the disease. To this end, we developed a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) and implemented an antigen-capture ELISA (AC-ELISA) to detect H5 viral antigen. Mice immunized with denatured hemagglutinin (HA) from A/goose/Guangdong/97 (H5N1), expressed in bacteria or with concentrated H5N2 virus, yielded a panel of hybridomas secreting mAbs specific for influenza HA. The reactivity of each mAb with several subtypes of influenza virus revealed that hybridomas 3D4 and 8B6 specifically recognized H5 HA. Therefor...
Avian Influenza is near from us!
2006-12-02 16:46:09 Three days ago, I watched news on TV. It was reported that about 12 km away from my own house a child of 12 years old was dead because of avian influenza (virus H5N1) attack. Just before the child got sick, several chickens were suddenly dead around the area where he lived with his family. The child showed high body?s temperature, difficult to breath and other symptoms that similar to common influenza.We were very surprised and did not believe on what has happened. The news opposed our thought about avian influenza epidemic. We thought avian influenza only spread on area far from us.Now, Indonesian government is announcing to Indonesian people through TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and other public media on how to identify avian influenza attack and what people must do when one of their family members get sick and shows symptoms-like avian influenza. However, the most important information is how to protect and avoid people from avian influenza attack.Despite making effort to dist...
