چکیده
This paper describes a simple method for purifying Coxiella burnetii cultivated in the chick embryo. The procedure is based upon the preliminary clarification of infected whole-egg suspensions by precipitating the low-density lipoproteins and other extraneous solids with dextran sulfate, calcium chloride, and sodium chloride solutions, and then concentrating the rickettsiae by centrifugation.

A simple method for concentrating, isolating, and purifying PF/cholera enterotoxin from culture supernatant fluids is presented. Precipitation with dextran sulfate and ammonium sulfate, followed by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, yielded PF/enterotoxin of high biological potency. Although not completely free from traces of vibriocidal antibody-stimulating activity, the resultant...

Over a period of 6 years (1989 to 1995), serum samples from 3,300 patients suspected to be infected by Coxiella burnetii were assayed for the presence of antibodies against antigen phase II of the microorganism by the indirect immunofluorescence antibody technique (IFAT). One hundred fifty-two cases were recorded, and blood samples from 17 patients were cultured for the isolation of the pathoge...
