  • Title: [Use of western blotting methods in diagnosis of viral infection causing tick-borne encephalitis].
    Author: Kowalewska A, Gut W, Jarzabek Z, Kańtoch M.
    Journal: Med Dosw Mikrobiol; 1992; 44(3-4):187-93. PubMed ID: 1305923.
    Abstract:
    A Western blot method for investigation of antigens and of immunological response to tick-borne encephalitis was prepared. An analysis was performed testing cross reactions of proteins of prepared antigen with sera for four Polish strains of tick-borne encephalitis and four other flaviviruses. Usefulness for diagnosis of infections in humans was determined by comparison of Western blot method with ELISA immunoenzymatic test. It was found that elaborated method permits equally as ELISA for evaluation of immune response in immunoglobulin classes. By evaluation of response for individual virus components, Western blot method enables at the same time verifications of nonspecific determinations which result from reaction of antibodies present in tested diagnostic materials with nonviral antigens.
