Conclusions The higher than manufacturer's cut-off for Kalon ELISA modestly reduced the rate of false-positive test results, but also increased false negatives. Investigators should consider the risk:benefit ratio in deciding whether or not to disclose HSV-2 results to adolescent participants under ...
False discovery rate (FDR) was used for multiple testing correction60. Flow cytometry 2 × 105 HeLa cells were transfected in 12-well plates with 50 nM siRNA using 0.15% DF1, and, after 48 hr, infected with HSV-1-eGFP (MOI1) for 1 hr at 37 °C. Inoculum was removed,...
Introduction Sero-epidemiological studies of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 infection in Africa remain difficult to interpret as a result of the high rate of false-positive results observed when using the new recombinant gG2 HSV-2 ELISA tests. The performance of two widely used gG2 ELISA ...
Furthermore, if the contamination rate is relatively high, hiring dedicated staff-who are well-trained in order to get a lower blood culture contamination rare may be cost-effective. It is because high false-positive blood culture rates due to contamination are associated with significantly ...
