The testing of the sensitivity limits has shown that this method known as ELISA-mu-capture, i.e. ELISA carried out with the use of antibodies to the mu chain of human immunoglobulin, is capable of detecting the antigen in a dose of 0.5-1 ng. Preparations based on monoclonal antibodies to species-specific R. prowazekii antigen permit the identification of the causative agent of typhus in its natural carrier within 24 hours.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45335</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LR: 20031114; JID: 0415217; 0 (Antibodies, Bacterial); 0 (Antibodies, Monoclonal); 0 (Antigens, Bacterial); 0 (Epitopes); 0 (Immunoglobulin M); ppublish0372-9311Journal</style></notes></record></records></xml>
