Blocking or competitive ELISAs have been constructed using monoclonal antibodies in PEDV serodiagnosis, and the specific methodology can affect the overall specificity and performance of the assay.
There has been quite a lot of discussion about which HPV test is the most specific, but in fact a relatively more important point is the overall specificity of the triage algorithm.
This modification is to increase the overall specificity of the library during selection and thus identify MREs that are highly specific to the target.
The overall specificity was 100%, but the sensitivity was 50% and 54.5% for agarose gel and HNB respectively.
Work in epithelial cells has shown that polarized trafficking to the apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains requires different sets of SNAREs, suggesting a mechanism that contributes to the overall specificity of polarized trafficking and, perhaps, the formation and maintenance of polarity itself.
The overall specificity and sensitivity were 99 and 51%.
The overall specificity of two rapid tests for excluding HIV infection was 99.5%.
The overall specificity per-patient with polyps ≥6 mm for radiographers and radiologists was 81.1 % and 81.4 % respectively (Table 1).
The overall specificity of the FAST scan was 100%, with a sensitivity of 71.4%, but its sensitivity in penetrating trauma alone was much poorer at 62.5%.
The fact that the entropy line is increasing (until a stabilization point of 2,97952) means that the overall specificity of any tag in the system is being reduced.
Analysis of multiple markers with an ANN may be a better choice than the use of CA 125II alone in a two-step approach for population screening in which a secondary test such as ultrasound is used to keep the overall specificity at an acceptable level.
