Angiostrongyliasis is difficult to be diagnosed for the reason that no ideal method can be used. Serologic tests require specific equipment and are not always available in poverty-stricken zone and are time-consuming. A lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) may be useful for angiostrongyliasis control. We established a LFIA for the diagnosis of angiostrongyliasis based on 2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against antigens of Angiostrongylus cantonensis adults. The sensitivity and specificity were 91.1% and 100% in LFIA, while those of commercial ELISA kit was 97.8% and 86.3%, respectively. Youden index was 0.91 in LFIA and 0.84 in commercial ELISA kit. LFIA showed detection limit of 1 ng/ml of A. cantonensis ES antigens. This LFIA was simple, rapid, highly sensitive and specific, which opened an alternative approach for the diagnosis of human angiostrongyliasis.
由于没有理想的诊断方法,广州管圆线虫病很难被诊断出来。血清学检测需要特定设备,在贫困地区并不总是能够获得,而且耗时较长。一种侧向流动免疫分析(LFIA)可能对广州管圆线虫病的防控有用。我们基于两种针对广州管圆线虫成虫抗原的单克隆抗体(mAbs)建立了一种用于诊断广州管圆线虫病的LFIA。LFIA的敏感性和特异性分别为91.1%和100%,而商用ELISA试剂盒的敏感性和特异性分别为97.8%和86.3%。LFIA的约登指数为0.91,商用ELISA试剂盒的约登指数为0.84。LFIA对广州管圆线虫ES抗原的检测限为1 ng/ml。这种LFIA简单、快速、高度敏感且特异,为人类广州管圆线虫病的诊断开辟了一种替代方法。
