  • Title: The liposome PCR assay is more sensitive than the Vibrio cholerae enterotoxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin reversed passive latex agglutination test at detecting cholera toxin in feces and water.

    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2010 Dec; 48(12):4620-2. PubMed ID: 20962142.
    Abstract:
    Practical detection of cholera toxin (CT) by a liposome PCR (LPCR) immunoassay was compared to that of an established V. cholerae enterotoxin and Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin reversed passive latex agglutination (VET-RPLA) assay. LPCR detected CT in the range of 10 pg/ml to 100 ng/ml in simulated feces and environmental water. Detection by VET-RPLA required at least 4 to 19 ng/ml CT.
