Abstract:
A method for assaying a test sample for the presence of Staphylococcal enterotoxin-B, comprising the steps of:applying digalactosylceramide to a PVDF surface; applying a liquid reaction medium comprising the test sample to the PVDF surface; removing excess liquid medium from the PVDF surface; incubating the PVDF surface with a first antibody which specifically binds to Staphylococcal enterotoxin-B; detecting the presence of the first antibody on the PVDF surface, by observing a label on the first antibody or a labeled second antibody which recognizes said first antibody; wherein the presence of the first antibody indicates the presence of Staphylococcal enterotoxin-B in the test sample.
