An ELISA procedure for detecting human anti-endotoxin antibodies in serum. Annals of clinical biochemistry Gaffin, S. L., BADSHA, N., Brock-Utne, J. G., Vorster, B. J., Conradie, J. D. 1982; 19 (3): 191-194

Abstract

We report an ELISA method suitable for the large-scale screening of blood bank stores to identify those blood units containing high concentrations of antiendotoxin antibodies. In Natal, 8.3% of total units collected had antiendotoxin antibodies at concentrations greater than 40 micrograms/ml, values that may be therapeutically useful. We found that one technician could screen enough samples per year to produce 800 litres of such high-titre plasma.
