Analysis of speckled fluorescent antinuclear antibody test antisera using electrofocused nuclear antigens.
Antibodies to different components of the extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) have been thought to be serological markers for clinical subsets of rheumatic diseases. However, incomplete characterization and standardization of antigenic components such as ribonucleoprotein (RNP), Sm, and SS-B (Ha), and the multiplicity of autoantibodies produced by different patients have confounded correlations b...

SUMMARY The results of direct stool examination in 102 watery and bloody diarrhea patients were compared with the presence of antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. Besides 22 healthy individuals included in this study as control group. It was found that 22 patients (21.5%) with a sera titre higher than 1/320 bad only 9 (8.8%) positive E. Histolytica ...
متن کاملAntinuclear Antibodies in Rabbit Antisera
Antinuclear antibodies were detected by immunofluorescence in most sera from rabbits immunized with whole human serum emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant. Four of 14 sera from rabbits immunized with Cohn fractions III, IV-1, or IV-4 also gave positive nuclear fluorescence with human leukocyte nuclei. Other human and animal nuclei gave negative results with these rabbit antisera. Three rabb...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody inhibition test.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA-200) test has been shown to detect at least two types of antibody in syphilitic serum; one of these, which can be removed by absorption with Reiter treponemes, is thought to be a group antibody which reacts with an antigen shared by Treponema pallidum and other treponemes (Deacon and Hunter, 1962). A second antibody, which remains after such an absorptio...
متن کاملThe clinical utility of a positive antinuclear antibody test result.
BACKGROUND This retrospective study investigated the clinical utility of a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test performed outside of the rheumatology setting. Prior studies have investigated the frequency of ANA positivity within the general population. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the clinical utility of a positive ANA test result in a real-world setting by reviewing t...
