  • Title: Comparison of use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based kits and PCR amplification of rRNA genes for simultaneous detection of Entamoeba histolytica and E. dispar.
    Author: Mirelman D, Nuchamowitz Y, Stolarsky T.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1997 Sep; 35(9):2405-7. PubMed ID: 9276425.
    Abstract:
    A comparison of the use of three commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based kits and PCR amplification of rRNA genes to detect and differentiate Entamoeba histolytica from E. dispar was carried out. Only the Techlab kit did not cross-react with E. dispar antigens, but it was 100 times less sensitive than PCR in detection of and differentiation between the two types of Entamoeba.
