Development and production of antibodies against gamma inactivated pathogenic bacterial spores

Abstract

Gram-positive sporulated bacilli can cause many different diseases and isolation from environmental samples is difficult. Therefore, the quick detection and diagnosis of these microorganisms have critical importance because of their potentially harmful situation. However, many accepted diagnostic methods exist, and future technology points to immunoassay systems. Immunological methods to detect biological microorganisms require antigen-specific high-affinity antibodies as key materials.
