Comparison of occurrence of antibodies to human cytomegalovirus as demonstrated by immunofluorescence and indirect hemagglutination techniques.
Indirect immunofluorescence and hemagglutination study of reactivity to human cytomegalovirus immediate early, early, and late antigens revealed that antibody responses to these antigens varies greatly and that hemagglutination is positive when sera contain only antibody to one or both early antigens.
متن کاملDetection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence.
BACKGROUND HEp-2 cells that overexpress the human 60-kDa SSA antigen have been used to improve sensitivity and specificity for the detection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence. We describe a survey on the detection of anti-SSA antibodies using a commercial substrate that overexpresses SSA. METHODS The evaluation was done on 18 371 consecutive samples submitted to the labora...
متن کاملImmunological Identification of Foot-pad Isolates as Mycobacterium Leprae by Lepromin Reactivity in Leprosy Patients
Lepromin, a product containing Mycobacterium leprae from patients' tissues, fails to elicit skin reactions in lepromatous patients; this non-reactivity was utilized as a means of identifying the mycobacterium isolated in mouse foot-pads from leprosy patients. To do this a suspension of acid-fast bacilli prepared from mouse foot-pads infected with a typical isolate was compared to human lepromin...
متن کاملAnti-RNA polymerase III antibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis detected by indirect immunofluorescence and ELISA
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the analytical performance of an ELISA for the detection of anti-RNA polymerase III antibody (ARA) and to assess IIF as a method for identifying this antibody. METHODS A commercially available ELISA was used to assess the presence of ARA in sera from 1018 SSc patients. The sera had been divided into sub-populations based on the presence of specific autoantibodies, ANA p...
متن کاملHuman monoclonal antibodies against Mycobacterium leprae.
Human hybridomas were constructed which produce antibodies against three different extracts of Mycobacterium leprae. A thioguanine-resistant (Thgr), ouabain-resistant (Ouar), human lymphoblastoid cell line, KR-4, was hybridized with Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cell lines from lepromatous leprosy patients with fusion frequencies of greater than 10(-5). Non-Epstein-Barr virus-transformed donor...
