Staining bacterial smears with fluorescent antibody. III. Antigenic analysis of Salmonella typhosa by means of fluorescent antibody and agglutination reactions.
Moody et al. (1956) and Thomason et al. (1956) have applied fluorescent antibody techniques to the specific detection of Malleomyces pseudomallei in dried smears. This method already has proved successful for the detection and identification of several other pathogenic bacteria. It is potentially a valuable tool for the identification of pathogenic bacteria in clinical specimens and should be o...
متن کاملRapid fluorescent-antibody staining technique.
The rapid fluorescent-antibody staining technique described by Kellogg and Deacon for staining Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Treponema pallidum was applied to fluorescent-antibody tests for group A streptococci and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli. Results obtained with this staining technique were compared with results using the conventional staining procedure; excellent correlation was obtained....
متن کاملStudies on Fluorescent Antibody Staining
1. A study has been made of the non-specific fluorescent staining of splenic imprints treated with fluorescent sheep antibody globulins. 2. In tissue imprints made with the spleens of antigen-stimulated animals, no morphological distinction was evident between areas showing non-specific fluorescence and specific fluorescence. 3. Elimination of non-specific fluorescence was not achieved by any o...
متن کاملComparison of PCR, culture, and direct fluorescent-antibody testing for detection of Bordetella pertussis.
We prospectively compared the performance of culture, direct fluorescent-antibody testing (DFA), and an in-house-developed PCR test targeting the repeated insertion sequence IS481 for the detection of Bordetella pertussis in nasopharyngeal swab specimens. We tested 319 consecutive paired specimens on which all three tests were performed. A total of 59 specimens were positive by one or more test...
متن کاملRegulation of pertussis toxin and lipopolysaccharide levels of Bordetella pertussis 134 in response to modulators
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemerge of pertussis in some highly immunized populations and divergency in gene order among several B. pertussis strains promoted this research to study the change of pertussis toxin (PT) and lipopolysacharide levels in response to the different environments. Th...
