Yersinia enterocolitica IgA LINE Immunoblot

Yersinia enterocolitica LINE Immunoblot for qualitative detection of specific IgA-/IgG-antibodies respectively in human serum which are directed against antigens of the 70kb virulence plasmid of pathogenic Yersinia species. detection of reactive bands contributes towards the diagnosis of Yersinia-associated sequelae (for example reactive arthritis) . The test is not suitable for diagnosis of acute enteritic diseases.The LINE Immunoblot assay is a strip-based method using recombinant proteins applied in well-defined positions to nitrocellulose strip by a micro-dispensing method.
