Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: A method for performing an immunoassay is described. The method is particularly useful for detecting extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) producing microorganisms. The method is particularly useful for detecting microorganisms which produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) also known as exocellular polysaccharides, capsule, and/or lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In a preferred method for detecting microorganisms which produce EPS, LPS, or both, the EPS and/or LPS is extracted from a sample with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to produce molecular aggregates which are then preferentially bound to colored polystyrene latex particles over other components in the sample, and the bound EPS and/or LPS detected using a lateral flow immunoassay apparatus' which has immobilized thereon antibodies specific for the--EPS and/or LPS. The method can also be used to detect particular viruses, for example viruses of the potyviridae or tobamoviridae group.
