Changes in Bacterial Volume as the Result of Specific Agglutination
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements indicate that bacterial antigens increase in volume as the result of specific agglutination. There is a general parallelism between the increase in antigenic volume and the concentration of the immune serum. The phenomenon is specific. There is no increase with normal serum; with absorbed serum the increase is slight and it can be correlated with the presence of unabsorbed antibody. The effect is enduring as shown by volumetric determinations upon repeatedly washed, agglutinated bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Of the antisperm immunoglobulins ,only antisperm surface IgA an IgGs are significant clinically because many fertile men have antisperm antibodies present in their sera. Since the necessity of one form of sperm surface antisperm test(specific)is felt in our country,and Immunobead is not popular here for its high cost,Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction test was studied in a population of inf...
متن کاملThe Significance of Changes in Antigenic Volume as the Result of Specific Agglutination
Findings are described which amplify those of a preceding paper in showing that bacteria increased in volume when treated with specific agglutinin. When the increase in volume approximated 20 per cent all the bacteria were agglutinated. We have attempted to correlate the volumetric increase with the quantity of protein adsorbed by the organisms during agglutination and have studied not only bac...

Background and Aim: Early diagnosis of pregnancy is very important to prevent fetal damage due to specific drug consumption and high-risk behaviors. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of quantitative agglutination pregnancy tests in urine and rapid β hCG immunoenzymatic assay test in serum as a gold standard. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional st...
