Fluorescent 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...
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 studies.
Fluorescent antibody methods were originally introduced by Coons and associates in 1942. Included in this first publication was a procedure for antibody-fluorescein conjugation and a description of fluorescent reactions obtaincd by means of ultraviolet light microscopy. This communication, and later ones by other authors, indicated that fluorescent antibody procedures were practical for rapid a...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody absorption double-staining test evaluation.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) double-staining (DS) test has been developed for microscopes equipped with incident illumination, and the procedure offers many advantages over the FTA-ABS test when tests are performed with this equipment. In this study, 346 fresh sera, including 35 from patients with syphilis, were evaluated by the FTA-ABS DS test. Parameters for invest...
متن کاملEvaluation of the automated fluorescent treponemal antibody test for syphilis.
The Automated Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody (AFTA) procedure developed by the Space Division of Aerojet General Corporation (El Monte, California) was tested in this laboratory as part of a field evaluation sponsored by the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory of the National Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Georgia (Stout, Lewis, Duncan, Hunter, and Lantz, 1968). The reactivity of the a...
