Poliovirus-specific immunoglobulin A in persons vaccinated with inactivated poliovirus vaccine in The NetherlandsM M Herremans
Research Laboratory for Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Public Health and the Environment, Bilthoven, The Netherlands
Clin Diagn Lab Immunol 4:499-503. 1997..While the presence of secretory IgA in IPV-vaccinated persons has been documented previously, our findings suggest that mucosal priming with live virus is necessary to obtain an IgA response after IPV booster vaccination...

National Institute for Public Health and the Environment RIVM, Diagnostic Laboratory for infectious diseases and perinatal screening LIS, Bilthoven, The Netherlands
J Microbiol Methods 71:107-13. 2007..Although the sensitivity of the ELISA remains low we conclude that the use of models using the combination of both IgM and IgG test results and age-depending factors can be a useful diagnostic tool in the serodiagnosis of CSD... - Comparison of a Treponema pallidum IgM immunoblot with a 19S fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test for the diagnosis of congenital syphilisMartina Herremans
Centre for Infectious Disease Control, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment RIVM, Laboratory for Infectious Diseases and Perinatal Screening, PO Box 1, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 59:61-6. 2007..We conclude that the IB is a sensitive method to detect contact with T. pallidum in neonates and can replace the 19S in routine laboratory screening for CS cases... - Use of serological assays for diagnosis of hepatitis E virus genotype 1 and 3 infections in a setting of low endemicityM Herremans
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, RIVM, Diagnostic Laboratory for Infectious Diseases and Perinatal Screening, P O Box 1, 3720 BA Bilthoven, The Netherlands
Clin Vaccine Immunol 14:562-8. 2007..We conclude that a combination of ELISA and immunoblotting is needed for acceptable specificity and sensitivity of HEV assays under conditions of low endemicity... - Detection of hepatitis E virus-specific immunoglobulin a in patients infected with hepatitis E virus genotype 1 or 3M Herremans
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Diagnostic Laboratory for Infectious Diseases and Perinatal Screening, Bilthoven, The Netherlands
Clin Vaccine Immunol 14:276-80. 2007..In both the type 1- and type 3-infected patients both the IgA and IgM responses disappeared simultaneously. We conclude that IgA detection is of limited value for the serodiagnosis of acute HEV cases, particularly with genotype 3... - Swine-like hepatitis E viruses are a cause of unexplained hepatitis in the NetherlandsM Herremans
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Diagnostic Laboratory for Infectious Diseases and Perinatal Screening, Bilthoven, The Netheralnds

Clin Infect Dis 34:1067-75. 2002..We propose to use the detection of poliovirus-specific IgA as a tool to monitor virus circulation in IPV-vaccinated and nonvaccinated populations, to aid the poliovirus eradication process... - Antibody responses to antigenic sites 1 and 3 of serotype 3 poliovirus after vaccination with oral live attenuated or inactivated poliovirus vaccine and after natural exposureT Herremans
Research Laboratory for Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Public Health and the Environment RIVM, Bilthoven, The Netherlands
Clin Diagn Lab Immunol 7:40-4. 2000..01). We conclude that the immune response to serotype 3 poliovirus in humans consists of both site 1- and site 3-specific antibodies and that these responses can be induced by either OPV or recent IPV vaccination... - Lessons from diagnostic investigations of patients with poliomyelitis and their direct contacts for the present surveillance of acute flaccid paralysisT Herremans
