Typing Haemophilus ducreyi by indirect immunofluorescence assay.
Rabbits were inoculated with untreated whole cells of 16 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi. Homologous titres in an indirect immunofluorescence test ranged from 1/320 to 1/1280. No cross reactions, or very few, were observed between antisera to these strains and 22 other (possible taxonomically related) species, strains, and genera. A large diversity in types of antigen was observed among the stra...
متن کاملTyping of herpes simplex virus with type-specific human immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
Sera from nine individuals with suspected primary herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) infection were screened to identify those containing HSV type-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM). Selected sera were then utilized in an IgM-specific indirect immunofluorescent-antibody HSV-typing assay (patent pending). To evaluate the procedure, 29 HSV isolates were grown in cultures of contin...
متن کاملSerological detection of Capillaria hepatica by indirect immunofluorescence assay.
In this paper, a serological assay for the detection of antibodies to Capillaria hepatica, a zoonotic parasite, is described. In the past, the only way of detecting Capillaria hepatica was to perform a liver biopsy. The indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay, based on liver sections of naturally infected mice and human serum samples, is suitable for detecting early stages of human infections a...
متن کاملRapid and highly sensitive coxsackievirus a indirect immunofluorescence assay typing kit for enterovirus serotyping.
We describe the development and evaluation of an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) kit for rapid and sensitive detection of coxsackievirus A2, -4, -5, -6, and -10. This IFA kit was determined to have 95.9 to 100% sensitivity and 95.8 to 97.2% specificity. It also proved to be beneficial in reducing the number of enteroviruses that are untypeable in the clinical virology laboratory.
متن کاملBiology of Haemophilus ducreyi.
The etiological agent of the sexually transmitted genital ulcer disease chancroid was first described in 1889 by Auguste Ducrey following repeated autoinoculation of purulent ulcer material from a series of patients. The organism was isolated on artificial media a decade later but has remained difficult to isolate consistently, resulting in controversy over its characteristics and role as the c...
