Comparative IgM-ELISA was carried out on 90 serum specimens from dengue patients using newly prepared reagents in comparison with routine reagents (D2-MAb mouse ascitic fluid from CDC, USA, and D2 antigen extracted from infected suckling mouse brains). The newly prepared MAb at 2-10 fold higher concentration than that estimated by antigen detection ELISA, in combination with the undiluted D2-infected C6/36 cell culture fluid, provided comparable sensitivity (93.3-97.9%) to that of routine reagents (90.0-98.5%)., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 37(4). p165-173, 1996}, pages = {165--173}, title = {Production of Type 2 Dengue (D2) Monoclonal Antibody and Cell Culture Derived D2 Antigen for Use in Dengue IgM-Capture ELISA}, volume = {37}, year = {1996} }
