Microantiglobulin Test for Detecting Salmonella typhimurium Agglutinins

A modified test for Brucella agglutinins.

0.1% Protamine sulphate in normal (0.85% w/v) saline has been used as a diluent in Brucella serology instead of saline as such. The use of protamine sulphate in this concentration has obviated the need for performing the modified Coombs test to detect non-agglutinating Brucella antibodies. This method has been used in the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit of the University of Melbourne in the rou...

Salmonella typhimurium

Microagglutination test for detecting and measuring serum agglutinins of Francisella tularensis.

A microagglutination method utilizing stained antigen for detecting and measuring serum agglutinins against Francisella tularensis is described. The microagglutination and standard tube agglutination techniques were demonstrated to be comparable in sensitivity and specificity. Advantages of the micro method are rapidity and ease of performance, economy of reagents and, in particular, ease of in...
