Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay spin amplification technique for herpes simplex virus antigen detection.

abstract：:The lack of a quick, simple, and inexpensive diagnostic test has limited the ability of public health officials to rapidly assess and control outbreaks of Giardia lamblia in child day-care centers. We evaluated the performance of a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of a...
