Evaluation of serological reactivity

Therefore in this study immunodominant region in TP53 gene was amplified and cloned in prokaryotic expression vector. Further the conditions were optimized for the expression of the recombinant protein. The recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The hyperimmune sera were raised in rabbits against the recombinant protein. In the hyperimmune sera, antibodies specific to TP53 were detected by Indirect ELISA, confirming the serological reactivity of the immunodominant region.

In Lyme Borreliosis, western blot is the preferred serologic test. Antigen detection tests (antigen capture and PCR), although insensitive, are very specific and are especially helpful in evaluating the seronegative patient and those still ill or relapsing after therapy. Often, these antigen detection tests are the only positive markers of Bb infection, as seronegativity has been reported to occur in as many as 30% to 50% of cases. Nevertheless, active LB can be present even if all of these tests are non-reactive! Clinical diagnosis is therefore required.
