Further studies of the fluorescent treponemal antibody-cerebrospinal fluid (FTA-CSF) test with a monospecific anti-IgM conjugate.
Recent studies have shown the fluorescent treponemal antibody-cerebrospinal fluid (FTA-CSF) test to be the most sensitive of the serological tests investigated for the detection of treponemal antibody in cerebro-specimens were obtained from humans with various stages of syphilis and from four chimpanzees before and at intervals after experimental infection with T. pallidum. However, the questio...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody tests on cerebrospinal fluid.
Reports of fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA) testing of cerebrospinal fluids have appeared in the literature from time to time (Harris, Bossak, Deacon, and Bunch, 1960; Vaisman and Hamelin, 1961; Niel and Fribourg-Blanc, 1964). It has become accepted practice in our laboratory to perform an FTA test, without absorption with Reiter treponemes, on undiluted cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). As no es...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test in yaws.
The pathogenic treponemes, T. pertenue and T. pallidum, produce similar antibodies in the serum of a person infected with either organism. Thus sera from patients with yaws react similarly to sera from syphilitic patients in the conventional tests for syphilis and in the Treponema pallidum immobilization (TPI) test. The most recent test developed for the detection of syphilis is the fluorescent...
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 کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody test; a preliminary report.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody (F.T.A.) test described by Deacon, Falcone, and Harris (1957) was one of the procedures using treponemal antigens chosen for inclusion in the Serology Evaluation and Research Assembly (S.E.R.A.) Study carried out under the auspices of the United States Public Health Service in 1956-57 (U.S.P.H.S. Report, 1959). The test was shown to give very sensitive and sp...
