Comparison of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and hemagglutination test using mycobacterial glycolipids

Z Reggiardo et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1981 May.

Abstract

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and hemagglutination methods were compared using mycobacterial glycolipids as antigens. Both methods were found to have equivalent specificity and sensitivity in detecting mycobacterial diseases. Both tests had 96% specificity; the sensitivity of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 86%, and that of the hemagglutination test was 88.6%.
