Hemagglutination - Inhibition Assay For
نویسنده
چکیده
A sensitive immunoassay procedure for the detection of the thrombopoietic-stimulating factor (TSF) has been developed. This procedure Is similar to the hemagglutination-inhibition (HAl) technique that is available for erythropoietin. For the production of TSF, sheep were made thrombocytopenic by the Injection of antiplatelet serum. TSF from sheep sera was partially purified by column chromatography and tested for biological activity in thrombocythemic mice. A TSF-rich serum fraction was used to immunize rabbits, and the Immune serum was tested for hemagglutinating antibodies. The hemagglutinating antisera were absorbed with normal sheep serum to remove antibodies not specific to TSF. The absorbed antisera containing TSF-specific antibodies were then used to detect TSF in platelet-depleted sheep sera by use of the HAl assay procedure. The data indicate that TSF can be detected and quantified in sheep serum by use of this technique.

متن کاملHigh Titers of Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibodies against 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus in Southern Iran
Background: Pandemic flu had at least two waves in Iran. Knowing how many of the general population were already exposed to this infection has a major impact on na-tional preventive measures. As of December 30, 2009, a total of 3672 confirmed cases of human infection with a novel Influenza A (2009 H1N1) virus had been reported in Iran with 140 deaths. Objective: In this study we aim to measure,...

Hemagglutination inhibition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and passive latex agglutination were used to test 495 human serum samples for determination of rubella immunity. Overall agreements for immune status were as follows: hemagglutination inhibition versus ELISA, 94.7% (469 of 495); hemagglutination inhibition versus passive latex agglutination (1:10 dilution), 99.2% (491 of 49...

To prepare hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antigen the egg drop syndrome virus (EDSV) was propagated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs. The virus antigen was inactivated with two methods including heating (65°C) and adding 0.5% formaldehyde by considering low destroying effect on hemagglutination (HA) and HI titers. The EDSV HI titers of 310 sera and 100 yolks obtained from 23 chicken farms ...
