ImmunoassaysA Fully Automated Multiplex Assay for Diagnosis of Lyme Disease with High Specificity and Improved Early SensitivityLyme borreliosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. Bio-Rad Laboratories has developed a fully automated multiplex bead-based assay for the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to B. burgdorferi. The BioPlex 2200 Lyme Total assay exhibits an...
ImmunoassaysDevelopment for Clinical Use of a Multiplexed Immunoassay Using Sputum Samples for Streptococcus pneumoniae: a Non-Culture-Based Approach for Serotype-Specific DetectionThe multiplexed immunoassay (MIA) is an automated, monoclonal antibody-based serotyping assay that uses culture lysates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. This study describes the development and validation of applying MIA directly to sputum samples for the serotype-specific detection of S. pneumoniae....
