Antibody capture radioimmunoassay (MACRIA) for coxsackievirus B4 and B5-specific IgM

Abstract: SUMMARYAn antibody capture radioimmunoassay was established for the detection of coxsackievirus B4 and B5-specific IgM. A significant feature of the assay was the use of an unrefined coxsackievirus B (CBV) antigen. The antigen was prepared by freeze thawing, ultrasonication and low speed centrifugation of infected Vero cells with no purification or concentration of the antigen being performed. Results of sera tested were expressed as a serum ratio (SR) by comparison with a low positive control serum. To establ… Show more

“…This together with the two CBV IgM-reactive sera from cases of echovirus 6 infection described by Minor et al (1979) are the only previously documented cross-reactions in CBV IgM tests involving infections among the enterovirus genus as a whole. However, in this issue Morgan-Capner & McSorley (1983) produce more extensive evidence for this.…”

“…It appears therefore that IgM produced after enterovirus infection in man has a broader cross-reactivity than the group-specific reactions denned by Katze & Crowell (19806). The alternative explanation of the differences between the results of Minor et al (1969) and Morgan-Capner & McSorley (1983) may lie in the difference in sensitivity of the two tests. Minor et al (1969) do not define the sensitivity of their counterimmunoelectrophoresis test, but Schmidt & Lennette (1962) state that specific IgM antibody can rarely be detected by the immunodiffusion test in sera diluted beyond 1 in 2.…”
