چکیده

Twelve reference strains of mycoplasma and acholeplasma previously reported to have been recovered from cattle were tested against hyperimmune rabbit serum by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. This technique detected antigen by the formation of precipitin lines with antibody within 1 h and promises to be a useful technique for detecting and identifying mycoplasma isolates in either pure or mixed cultures.

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis of pneumococcal antigens:improved sensitivity for the detection of types VII and XIV.

Rapid identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae has been reported using counterimmunoelectrophoresis for the detection of specific capsular antigens in serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine. Previous clinical studies have failed to detect type VII or XIV pneumococcal antigen. These two types, however, account for a significant portion of pneumococcal disease. The incorporation of a sulfonated ...

Isolation and detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae from cell culture by culture and PCR.

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major species of mycoplasmas which could contaminate cell cultures. Identification of M. pneuminae is significant because Mycoplasmas could contaminate and have unsuitable effect on the cell cultures. Rapid detection of these contaminations is so important and it could be significant role in preventing and controlling of contamination in cell cul...

Comparative evaluation of three commercial products and counterimmunoelectrophoresis for the detection of antigens in cerebrospinal fluid.

Three commercial products and counterimmunoelectrophoresis were evaluated for their ability to detect microbial antigens of Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae in cerebrospinal fluid from 157 patients suspected of having meningitis. Thirty-four patients were diagnosed as having bacterial meningitis by culture, microscopy, or antigen detection. The overal...

Comparison of staphylococcal coagglutination, latex agglutination, and counterimmunoelectrophoresis for bacterial antigen detection.

Soluble antigens of Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and group B streptococcus were looked for in cerebrospinal fluid, serum, and urine by using the staphylococcal coagglutination test, latex agglutination test, and counterimmunoelectrophoresis. The staphylococcal coaggultination and latex agglutination tests were more sensitive than counterimmuno...

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis for the detection of bacterial antigens in cerebrospinal fluid.

One hundred and seventeen specimens of cerebrospinal fluid from 94 patients were examined for the presence of pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type b antigens using counterimmunoelectrophoresis and coagglutination tests. The coagglutination method using Phadebact reagents was as sensitive as counterimmunoelectrophoresis, but culture was a more sensitive diagnostic procedure than either t...
