Abstract

Summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis is the most prevalent type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in Japan. We constructed a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system for diagnosis of summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis in which monoclonal antibodies were used to bind serotype-related polysaccharides to plastic plates, and this system was proven to have sufficient sensitivity and specificity.
