title: [New approach to an increase of specificity in determination of antibodies to lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria by solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay].
abstract: A simple and effective method is proposed to increase the sorption of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria on the polystyrene surfaces, in which there is no need of preliminary modification of the surface of the solid phase with poly-L-lysine. The method consists in using 0.05 M carbonate buffer (pH 9.6) with 70% of ammonium sulfate at the stage of LPS immobilization. As a result, LPS absorption increases essentially, and the level of non-specific reactions remains low. This makes the usage of additional blocking reagents unnecessary and allows increasing sensitivity and specificity in determination of anti-LPS-antibodies by the solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
