Standardization and evaluation of an in-house ELISA for the detection of rabies antibody in a tertiary care centre in South India
Background
Rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT), a neutralization-based assay for detecting rabies antibodies, is the gold standard. The National Action Plan for Dog Mediated Rabies Elimination (NAPRE) is a national program that strategizes the establishment of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to detect rabies antibodies.
Objective
We developed an in-house ELISA to screen for rabies antibodies using rabies vaccine antigen to study vaccine response among health care workers (HCWs) who received pre-exposure prophylaxis and a few animal bite victims who received post-exposure prophylaxis with rabies vaccine.
Study design
A prospective study was carried out from April to September 2023 at the Department of Clinical Virology of a tertiary care center in South India. A total of 161 serum specimens, which included 155 serum samples from study participants and 6 samples from a reference laboratory (as controls), were obtained during the study period. Rabies antibody was determined by the in-house standardized ELISA developed using the rabies vaccine and compared with the reference assay, RFFIT. The accuracy indices of the in-house ELISA were estimated by MedCalc software (version 22.023).
Results
A panel of 86 positive and 75 negative serum samples was used for evaluating the in-house standardized ELISA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the in-house ELISA were 98.8 %, 100 %, 100 %, and 98.7 % respectively. The accuracy of the in-house ELISA is 99.4 %.
Conclusion
ELISA can be a practically feasible and less expensive assay compared to RFFIT which is a cumbersome procedure with a long turn-around time of 3–4 days.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Virology, an esteemed international publication, serves as the official journal for both the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology. Dedicated to advancing the understanding of human virology in clinical settings, the Journal of Clinical Virology focuses on disseminating research papers and reviews pertaining to the clinical aspects of virology. Its scope encompasses articles discussing diagnostic methodologies and virus-induced clinical conditions, with an emphasis on practicality and relevance to clinical practice.
The journal publishes on topics that include:
• new diagnostic technologies
• nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing
• targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing
• emerging pandemic viral threats
• respiratory viruses
• transplant viruses
• chronic viral infections
• cancer-associated viruses
• gastrointestinal viruses
• central nervous system viruses
• one health (excludes animal health)
