title: The detection of antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by microplate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
abstract: The detection of antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has proved to be a potentially useful technique for the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis. The technique is capable of full automation. The use of a purified antigen should further improve the sensitivity of the method.
