title: An avidin-biotin ELISA for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B.
abstract: The avidin-biotin system was incorporated into the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to establish a new detection method for staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B in culture supernatants. Staphylococcal protein A (SPA) does not interfere significantly with the procedure. The test shows good sensitivity for the toxins and the ease and rapidity with which the assay can be performed make it a valuable tool for the routine detection of enterotoxins.
