A variant of the microtitre GM1-ELISA for Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin was studied. The test was improved by both reducing the assay time from 2 1/2 d to 8 h and by determining the most appropriate GM1 coating concentration. Coating the plates with greater than or equal to 3 micrograms of GM1/ml yielded a maximal sensitivity and ensured a linear relationship between the enterotoxin concentration and the extinction observed when using the final assay-procedure. Thus an optimal accuracy was obtained. This ELISA was 4- to 8-times more sensitive than the Vero cell monolayer assay. The sensitivity of this ELISA and of the chinese hamster ovary cell monolayer assay were identical.
