ABSTRACT
A competitive erythroimmunoassay (ERIA) is described for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) detection in stools. This technique uses sheep red blood cells sensitized by CPE and an anti-CPE-antibody-coated plate in which the results are read by eye. ERIA is simple, rapid, economic and more sensitive (2 ng/ml) than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay used for evaluation. ERIA is suitable for CPE detection in stool samples protected with phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride.
