Evaluation of the focus reduction neutralization and ELISA tests compared to the plaque reduction neutralization test for the detection of antibodies against measles virus
Measles is an infectious febrile sickness caused by the measles virus (MeV). Despite an effective vaccine, regional elimination of measles remains a global priority and still faces challenges.
To estimate community protection against measles, sensitive tests are needed to identify measles-specific antibodies. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the standard test for assessing immunity but may fail to detect weak antibody responses in vaccinated populations. The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), is the gold standard test for the assessment of protective antibody levels, however, it is not suitable for routine use. This study validated the focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT) as an alternative.
In eight assay runs, fifty serum samples were analyzed in triplicate using PRNT, FRNT, and ELISA. Data analysis revealed that 38 samples were positive by PRNT, 37 by FRNT, and 19 by ELISA. The results showed that ELISA was not sensitive enough to identify low levels of anti-measles antibodies and showed weak agreement with neutralization assays. In contrast, the two neutralization assays had a perfect correlation and similar sensitivity. FRNT appears to be a suitable alternative to PRNT for characterizing immunological responses and vaccination efficacy.
Our results highlight the necessity of validating negative and equivocal ELISA results through neutralization methods, during the elimination phases.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
