Microflocculation assay for gonococcal antibody.
نویسنده
چکیده
An antigen suspension consisting of cholesterol-lecithin particles sensitized with an extract of gonococci was used in a flocculation assay for the detection of human antibodies to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. With culturally and clinically diagnosed cases of uncomplicated gonorrhea, sera from 70 (49.6%) of 141 males and 207 (79.0%) of 262 females were reactive in the assay. Sera from four (7.3%) of 55 males and 11 (5.4%) of 203 females, all presumed normal, were reactive. The assay utilized equipment available in most clinical and public health laboratories.

Immunogenicity of gonococcal transferrin binding proteins during natural infections.
In this study, we examined the immune response during gonococcal infection to the individual transferrin binding proteins by using a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Recombinant transferrin binding protein A (rTbpA) and rTbpB were purified under nondenaturing conditions for use as ELISA antigens. Sera and secretions from culture-positive individuals were analyzed for anti...

Sera obtained from 34 men with Chlamydia trachomatis positive non-gonococcal urethritis, 34 men with C trachomatis negative non-gonococcal urethritis, 42 women with acute salpingitis, 38 healthy women, and 34 healthy men were studied for the presence of specific serum C trachomatis IgA and IgG antibodies. Serological results were correlated with C trachomatis isolation in cell culture. An enzym...

Gonococcal pili, pure by the criteria of electron microscopic examination and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, have been prepared by repeated cycles of precipitation with 0.1 M MgCl(2), followed by dissolution in 0.01 M Tris pH 8, 0.01 M NaN(3). Using a fluorescein-conjugated antibody prepared to pili from a single strain, pilar antigen(s) was found to be present in...
