Table 4 Sensitivity and specificity of the various antigens for detection of brugian and bancroftian filariasis. Reactivities to L. loa and O. volvulus were excluded from the specificity evaluation.
From: Pan LF-ELISA using BmR1 and BmSXP recombinant antigens for detection of lymphatic filariasis
Type of antigen | Sensitivity to B. malayi and B. timori | Sensitivity to W. bancrofti | Specificity |
|---|---|---|---|
BmR1 | 109/111 (98%) | 11/77 (14%) | 0/115 (100%) |
BmSXP | 93/111 (84%) | 73/77 (95%) | 1/115 (99%) |
BmR1: BmSXP (1:1) | 109/111 (98%) | 65/77 (84%) | 1/115 (99%) |
