The reactivity of the a...
متن کاملFurther evaluation of an automated fluorescent treponemal antibody test for syphilis.
Improvements in the equipment for the automated fluorescent treponemal antibody (AFTA) test for syphilis prompted this comparative study of the AFTA and its manual counterpart, the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption (FTA-ABS) test. The AFTA equipment operated satisfactorily, required only minimal monitoring, and afforded a three-to fourfold increase over the number of sera that could be...
متن کاملCONCISE REPORT Rapid detection of autoantibodies to dsDNA with the particle gel immunoassay (ID-PaGIA)
Objective: To describe a new particle agglutination test for the detection of autoantibodies to double stranded DNA (dsDNA). Patients and methods: Serum samples were collected from 40 unselected healthy blood donors and 200 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or a positive antinuclear antibody screen, or both. The samples were tested in the presence of red high density polystyrene ...
