  • Title: Rapid immunochromatographic strip test for detection of anti-K39 immunoglobulin G antibodies for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis.
    Author: Welch RJ, Anderson BL, Litwin CM.
    Journal: Clin Vaccine Immunol; 2008 Sep; 15(9):1483-4. PubMed ID: 18632926.
    Abstract:
    InBios International has developed an immunochromatographic rapid strip for the detection of visceral leishmaniasis that requires minimal equipment and only a small amount of blood to run a test. We compared the InBios rapid strip test with the CDC immunofluorescent antibody assay, and the agreement, sensitivity, and specificity were 98%, 90%, and 100%, respectively.
