Enzyme-linked immunosorbent poly

Several methods of detection of exposiue to ricin include use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing of blood or other body fluids or immunohistochemical techniques may be useful in confirming ricin intoxication (Poli et al, 1994). No widely available, reliable test exists to detect and confirm exposure to abrin.

Figure 2 Release of BDNF from synthetic microspheres. Microspheres composed of poly-(D,L-lactic-co-glycolide) were engineered to release BDNF over a sustained period. The release of total protein was measured by protein assay and ELISA. There is an initial burst of release over the first 48 hours, followed by sustained release of nanogram quantities for up to 28 days. Abbreviations . BDNF, brain derived neurotrophic factor ELISA, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.

Antisera against poly(ADP-ribose) were raised in rabbits [8] and affinity-purified antibodies from y-globulin were obtained [9]. We routinely examined antibodies against poly(ADP-ribose), dsDNA or sin e-stranded DNA (ssDNA) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [10]. Nine serum samples from SLE patients with high titers against all or any of these nucleic acids were selected for fluorescent antibody-staining for poly(ADP-ribose).
