Abstract:An enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) was developed, using polyclonal antibodies against a specific cell surface protein of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, for rapid detection of the organism. Nine virulent strains and one type strain of V. parahaemolyticus, one strain each of Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio alginolyticus were used for the study. Cell surface proteins were extracted from all the strains and were analysed by SDS PAGE. One distinct band with molecular weight of 34 kDa, abundant in all the V. paraha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
