The haemagglutination test for toxoplasma antibodies.
Four hundred and forty-six patients' sera from a hospital blood transfusion department in Newcastle were examined for toxoplasma antibodies by a haemagglutination test. Forty per cent. of the sera gave positive reactions, and an increase in the percentage of positive sera was found with increasing age, rising to over 60% at the age of 70 and over. A wide range of titres was demonstrated amongst...
متن کاملA screen test for rubella haemagglutination inhibition antibodies.
The findings agree closely with those of Hobbs and Aw (1968). The isoamylase patterns of normal plasma and urine are similar, though the activity in urine is greater. Three bands are usually found in normal urine, the slower, and usually more distinct, band being the pancreatic component, and the faster those derived from salivary gland. The activities of these isoenzymes in plasma appear to be...
متن کاملA haemagglutination and haemagglutination inhibition test for bluetongue virus.
Haemagglutination of bluetongue virus (BTV) was demonstrated for the first time by making use of a purified preparation of the virus. The reaction was found to be independent of variations in the pH, temperature, buffer system and origin of the erythrocytes used in the test. A haemagglutination inhibition test, subsequently developed, was demonstrated to be serotype specific. The storage of the...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
A resurgence of interest in Toxoplasma gondii has occurred because this coccidian parasite causes lethal infections in immunologically compromised hosts and is responsible for at least 3,000 congenitally infected infants in the United States annually. Thus, rapid, specific, and inexpensive serologic tests are required for routine screening of patients, especially pregnant women. We have develop...
متن کاملTreponemal haemagglutination test.
The introduction of the treponemal immobilization (TPI) test by Nelson and Mayer (1949) provided the first verification test for syphilis which proved fully acceptable to the clinician. After 20 years it is still accepted by a large body of opinion as the verification test of choice for the diagnosis of latent and late syphilis. The test's characteristic of becoming positive towards the end of ...
