Pastoris and the diagnostic utility of the expression product 2004-12-01 .txt text/plain 3741 185 54 Since the outbreak of SARS in 2003, several laboratory diagnostic methods have been established, including real-time RT-PCR assay, whole-virus-based immunofluorescence assay (IFA), recombinant protein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunochromatographic tests, antigencapturing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot (WB) assay. To test whether the recombinant M protein is effective as an ELISA antigen for detecting SARS-CoV patient serum, the sera from four healthy people and four SARS patients were used. Detection results of eight human sera by ELISA using purified recombinant M protein as antigen.# 1-4: sera from four healthy people, respectively, # 5-8: sera from four SARS patients, respectively. The results were in complete accordance with those of other assays, thus indicating that the recombinant M protein may be useful as an ELISA antigen for detecting specific antibodies to SARS-CoV in human sera.
