| retrospective analysis of monkeypox infection. | serologic cross-reactivity between orthopoxviruses is a substantial barrier to laboratory diagnosis of specific orthopoxvirus infections and epidemiologic characterization of disease outbreaks. historically, time-consuming and labor-intensive strategies such as cross-adsorbed neutralization assays, immunofluorescence assays, and hemagglutination-inhibition assays have been used to identify orthopoxvirus infections. we used cross-adsorption to develop a simple and quantitative postadsorption elis ... | 2008 | 18394277 |
| optimization of peptide-based elisa for serological diagnostics: a retrospective study of human monkeypox infection. | abstract although smallpox has been eradicated, other diseases caused by virulent orthopoxviruses such as monkeypox virus (mpv) remain endemic in remote areas of western and central sub-saharan africa, and represent a potential biothreat due to international travel and/or inadvertent exposure. unfortunately, extensive antigenic cross-reactivity among orthopoxviruses presents a challenge to serological diagnosis. we previously reported a 20mer peptide-based elisa that identified recent mpv infe ... | 2012 | 22217169 |
