An A-ELISA to detect hepatitis A virus in estuarine samples.

A M Nasser, T G Metcalf.   

Abstract

An amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (A-ELISA) for detecting and quantifying hepatitis A virus in estuarine water samples is described. The test was five times more sensitive than a standard ELISA and at least two times more sensitive than radioimmunoassay. Test sensitivity was unaffected by the procedures used to concentrate the virus in estuarine samples or by the presence of humic and tannic acids in test samples. Nonspecific reactions were not encountered with a number of enteroviruses or with a rotavirus. A high sensitivity and specificity combined with speed, low cost, and freedom from radiolabels made the A-ELISA useful for detecting hepatitis A virus in environmental samples. The virus was detected in 3 of 20 estuarine water samples examined by A-ELISA.
