One hundred and seventy-five human sera were tested for the presence of type-specific antibodies against L pneumophila serogroups 1 to 6 and the Leiden-1 strain by means of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared with the results obtained by the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). A high correlation (correlation coefficient 0.92) between both methods was found. No consistent pattern of IgG, IgA and IgM classes of antibody titres against L pneumophila were found. In the sera of 15 of 17 patients with a proven L pneumophila pneumonia, IgM class antibodies against L pneumophila could be detected. A "polyvalent" ELISA was developed which permits rapid routine screening of human sera for antibodies against L pneumophila serogroups 1 to 6 and the Leiden-1 strain.
采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)检测了175份人血清中针对嗜肺军团菌血清型1至6以及莱顿-1菌株的型特异性抗体,并与间接免疫荧光测定(IFA)的结果进行了比较。发现两种方法之间具有高度相关性(相关系数为0.92)。未发现针对嗜肺军团菌的IgG、IgA和IgM类抗体滴度的一致模式。在17例确诊为嗜肺军团菌肺炎的患者中,有15例患者的血清中可检测到针对嗜肺军团菌的IgM类抗体。开发了一种“多价”ELISA,可用于快速常规筛查人血清中针对嗜肺军团菌血清型1至6以及莱顿-1菌株的抗体。
