Application of freeze-dried monkey erythrocytes to measles viral hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition tests.

چکیده
Erthrocytes collected from monkey species including grivet, rhesus, and cynomolgus monkeys were stabilized by fixation with glutaraldehyde of a low concentration and were freeze-dried in vacuo. These freeze-dried erythrocytes were compared with fresh erythrocytes for measles viral hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition and could be used in both tests instead of fresh erythrocytes. They maintained their initial appearance and sensitivity to measles viral hemagglutinins after storage at 4 degrees C for 4 months more.

Erythrocytes collected from 1-day-old chicks were stabilized by fixation with formaldehyde and by freeze-drying after treatment with carbon monoxide. Suspensions of freeze-dried erythrocytes in distilled water or physiological saline had a homogeneous bright reddish-purple color. Freeze-dried erythrocytes were compared with fresh erythrocytes for hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition...

متن کاملAntigen requirements, sensitivity, and specificity of enzyme immunoassays for measles and rubella viral antibodies.
Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) systems for measles virus and rubella virus were studied from the standpoints of requirements for suitable viral antigens and control antigens, and the sensitivity and specificity of the tests for detecting antibody elicited by past infection (determination of immunity status), and for serodiagnosis of currenet infections. Crude or semipurified measles virus antigens we...
متن کاملStandardized viral hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition tests. I. Standardization of erythrocyte suspensions.
A spectrophotometric procedure for standardizing red blood cell suspensions for use in viral hemagglutination tests is described. The procedure is based on highly reproducible cyanmethemoglobin absorbance readings at 540 nm on any suitable spectrophotometer. Target values for milligrams of cyanmethemoglobin per 100 ml are given for the red cell suspensions of all mammalian and avian species emp...
