Abstract

The early detection of Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is important for adequate treatment by antibiotics and the outcome of the disease. Here we describe a new capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) based on monoclonal antibodies specific for lipopolysaccharide...
