title: Evaluation of anti-Listeria monocytogenes antibodies by ELISA.
abstract: A new ELISA test using the purified Listeria monocytogenes-derived antigen LM 84 Ag is described together with its application in the diagnosis of listeriosis. Fifty-seven human sera were titrated by the ELISA and the complement fixation method and compared for specificity and sensitivity. The problem of possible cross-reactions with other antigens is discussed.
