Validation, standardization and control of ELISA techniques for the diagnosis of infectious diseases in veterinary medicine

摘要

The decision to use a new enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique to diagnose infectious diseases in veterinary medicine must be based on careful validation and standardization of the test to ensure a high level of accuracy according to defined criteria. In particular, laboratories performing diagnostic tests related to control, surveillance or eradication programmes need to take care in producing accurate and precise test results in their daily routine. To ensure this, laboratories should have an acceptable level of organization and management that provides sufficient guarantee of producing reliable test results.
