STUDIES ON FACTORS INFLUENCING DOT-IGSS FOR ANTIBODIES IN SCHISTOSOMIASIS / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

By using different blocking and diluting fluids, different developing time and different gold-labeled anti-immunoglobulin (GLA-Ig) which had been preserved in different conditions, the influence on the dot-immunogold-siiver staining (Dot-IGSS) for diagnosis of schis-tosomiasis japonica was studied. The results suggested that using suitable amount of sheep/ bovine serum albumin (BSA) as blocking fluid and calf serum as diluting fluid was a good choice, and 20℃ 20 min was the appropriate time for development. The GLA-Ig without Na3N3 could be preserved in - 20℃ for 2 years if it was not frozen and melted repeatedly.
