ORTHO HCV Version 3.0 ELISA Test System is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which utilizes microwells coated with recombinant hepatitis C virus encoded antigens as the solid phase. ELISA technology utilizes the principle that antigens or antibodies which become bound to the solid phase can be detected by complementary antibody or antigen which is labeled with an enzyme capable of acting on a chromogenic substrate. When enzyme substrate is applied, the presence of antigen or a...

Human brucellosis is most commonly caused by two species of the genus Brucella, typically B. abortus from cattle and B. melitensis from goats and sheep. The definitive diagnosis of brucellosis rests upon demonstration of the causative bacterium in a suspected patient’s body fluid, typically by culture isolation [1,2]. While detection of Brucella nucleic acids [3–13] or antigens [14] would be expected to be diagnostic for new cases of brucellosis, DNA has been reported to persist in bl...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic has come to stay. Attempts to curtail this infection have had some success, with diagnosis of infection and counseling playing a significant role in prevention and patient management.
