  • Title: Enzyme amplified immunoassay: a novel technique applied to direct detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in clinical specimens.
    Author: Pugh SF, Slack RC, Caul EO, Paul ID, Appleton PN, Gatley S.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1985 Oct; 38(10):1139-41. PubMed ID: 3902899.
    Abstract:
    Endocervical swabs from 212 women and urethral swabs from 100 men were tested by the routine methods for McCoy cell culture and simultaneously by a novel enzyme amplified immunoassay test to detect chlamydia antigen. Overall correlation of the amplified test with culture was 96.5%. The test proved to be a suitable screening procedure for genital chlamydial infection, particularly for large numbers of specimens or in cases in which culture was not available.
