Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 , I am not quite sure as to whether „kurzer Nachweis” actually means a “quick and dirty method” of detection. The first idea coming to my head when reading your text extracts is that antibody detection is possible only for a short period of time. My two cents Astrid _____ Von: medical_translation [mailto:medical_translation ] Im Auftrag von Schlecht Gesendet: Thursday, December 28, 2006 7:27 PM An: medical_translation Betreff: DE>EN kurzer Nachweis I have a document that describes the use of immunological reagents, and am stuck on the best way to render " kurzer Nachweis " in this context. I know that it means something like a " quick and dirty " test carried out in a way that might not be very accurate or reliable, but can't quite come up with a good equivalent. This is one of several reasons given to explain why the test in question might not give a proper result. The source (Anti-XXX is the antibody designation): kein Anti-XXX Nachweis während der Primärinfektion (verzögerte Antwort, **kurzer Nachweis**, niedrig-positiv oder keine Bildung) My draft: no anti-XXX detection during the primary infection (delayed response, **kurzer Nachweis**, low-positive or no production) Any ideas would be much appreciated.
