RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the trend of neutralizing antibody level in plasma donors who received the 3rd shot of inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine. 【Methods】 Three commercial ELISA kits for novel coronavirus neutralization antibody detection, manufactured by Company A, B and C, were chosen and screened by Pseudotype Neutralization Test from December 2021 to June 2022. A total of 410 plasma samples from 64 plasma donors who received the 3rd shot of inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine and there after donated plasma within six months were detected by the selected ELISA kit from July to October, 2022. The data were analyzed by Excel 2013 and SPSS 26 software. 【Results】 The high-throughput ELISA kit for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody detection, manufactured by Company A, was selected for further antibody titer detection. The mixed plasma titers were 1 337.34, 1 148.89, 852.19, 681.38, 556.44 and 457.19 U/mL from 1 to 6 months, respectively, after the 3rd shot of vaccine. The neutralizing antibody titer level began to increase around 7 days after the 3rd shot of vaccine injection and peaked (peak range: 264.07-2 208.39 U/mL, median: 569.34 U/mL) at 1 month (range: 9-43 days, median: 22 days), and then gradually decreased (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The neutralizing antibody titer of plasma donors who received the 3rd shot of inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine began to rise around 7 days after vaccination, which reached the peak value at around 1 month and then gradually decreased.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Pregnancy diagnosis is an important tool for farm management. Ultrasonography is the main technique used for pregnancy diagnosis in ewes. As an alternative, radioimmunoassay (RIA) allows accurate and early detection of pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) in sheep blood. However, radioactive-based techniques, as RIA, have been increasingly inadvisable due to environmental risk. Homology between ovine and bovine PAGs is high, and ELISA kits used for PAGs detection in cattle are safer than RIA. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of PAGs detection for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep serum samples using an ELISA kit produced for cattle. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA kit were 93.5% and 98.9%, respectively, whereas positive and negative predictive values were 99.0% and 93.1%, respectively, in comparison to ultrasonography diagnostic (control). PAGs reached consistently detectable concentrations in ovine serum around 33 days after mating. Accuracy of the ELISA test was 96.1% from 33 days of pregnancy until lambing. After parturition, PAGs were still detectable seven days post-lambing. However, from 21 days post-parturition, PAGs from the previous pregnancy were no longer detected in serum samples. In conclusion, the bovine ELISA kit can accurately detect pregnancy in sheep 33 days following mating, while PAGs levels from the previous gestation are no longer detected from 21 days post-partum. The evaluated ELISA test is a reliable tool for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep at random stages and as a complementary exam at early gestation.
RESUMO: O diagnóstico de gestação é uma ferramenta importante no manejo da propriedade. A ultrassonografia é a principal técnica utilizada no diagnóstico de prenhez em ovelhas. Como alternativa, o radiomunoensaio (RIA) permite acurácia e a detecção precoce de proteínas associadas à prenhez (PAGs) no sangue. No entanto, as técnicas radioativas, como o RIA, têm sido cada vez mais desaconselháveis, devido ao risco ambiental. A homologia entre PAGs de ovinos e bovinos é alta, e os kits de ELISA utilizados para a detecção de PAGs em bovinos são mais seguros do que RIA. Portanto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade de detecção de PAGs no soro ovino para diagnóstico de gestação em soro ovino, utilizando um kit de ELISA produzido para bovinos. A sensibilidade e a especificidade do kit de ELISA foram de 93,5% e 98,9%, respectivamente, enquanto que os valores preditivos positivo e negativo foram de 99,0% e 93,1%, respectivamente, em comparação com a ultrassonografia (utilizada como referência). As PAGs atingiram concentrações consistentemente detectáveis no soro ovino em torno de 33 dias após o acasalamento. A acurácia do teste de ELISA foi de 96,1% a partir de 33 dias de gestação até o parto. As PAGs ainda eram detectáveis sete dias pós-parto. No entanto, a partir de 21 dias após o parto, as PAGs da prenhez anterior já não eram detectadas no soro. Em conclusão, o kit de ELISA bovino pode detectar a prenhez com precisão em ovelhas a partir de 33 dias após o acasalamento, e os níveis de PAGs da gestação anterior não são detectados a partir de 21 dias pós-parto. O teste de ELISA avaliado é uma ferramenta confiável para o diagnóstico de gestação em ovelhas em estágios aleatórios e como exame complementar no início da gestação.
RESUMEN
AIM@#A quantitative ELISA kit for the detection of human secreted CD306/LAIR-2 was developed using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies which were raised against a highly purified recombinant human secreted CD306/LAIR-2.@*METHODS@#Anti-human secreted CD306/LAIR-2 monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies were raised by immunizing mouse or rabbit with recombinant human secreted CD306/LAIR-2. The monoclonal antibody was purified by protein G affinity, whereas the polyclonal antibody was purified by protein A affinity. The best match pair of antibodies were found and used to develop a double antibody sandwich ELISA kit for the detection of human secreted CD306/LAIR-2 in human samples.@*RESULTS@#A human secreted CD306/LAIR-2 ELISA kit was formulated with highly purified recombinant human secreted CD306/LAIR-2, highly specific monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. This kit realized the quantitative measurement of recombinant human CD306/LAIR-2 and natural CD306/LAIR-2 in human serum samples.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The developed human secreted CD306/LAIR-2 ELISA kit is a reliable quantitation immunoassay kit.
