Fluorescent 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 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...
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...
متن کاملThe significance of the fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA-ABS) test in collagen disorders and leprosy.
A test is described to distinguish the immunofluorescence seen on T. pallidum in syphilis from that due to antibodies against DNA. The method consists of comparing the results of the fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA-ABS) test with the staining obtained with T. gondii and T. cruzi using an indirect fluorescent technique. The ability of a particular serum to stain other organisms, in addition...
