title: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of chlamydial antigens from human specimens.
abstract: An assay for the determination of chlamydial antigens from human specimens is reported. The assay, called the rapid bead enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (RB-ELISA) is a relatively simple, inexpensive test. The RB-ELISA for direct chlamydial determination can be adapted to either small or large-scale screening operations and could represent an additional detection method in conjunction with cell culture isolation techniques.
