Detection of group B streptococcal antigen in necropsy specimens using monoclonal antibody and immunoperoxidase staining.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A murine monoclonal antibody, which recognises various serotypes of group B Streptococcus in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue, was used to show the organism in necropsy specimens of newborn infant lung by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The method seemed to be complementary to that of Gram staining, and may be successfully used to identify group B Streptococcus antigen in histopathological material.

Dot immunoperoxidase assay using monoclonal antibody for direct detection of cytomegalovirus in urine samples.
A rapid, simple dot immunoperoxidase assay for the direct detection of cytomegalovirus in clinical urine samples was developed. The assay was performed on nitrocellulose paper dotted with urine pellets free of cellular debris. Cytomegalovirus was detected with a monoclonal antibody to the capsid antigen, and the complex was visualized by immunoperoxidase staining. Positive reactions appeared as...
متن کاملDistribution of HBcAg in hepatitis B detected by immunoperoxidase staining with three different preparations of anti-HBc antibodies.
To evaluate the role of the expression of hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) in liver cell damage the immunoperoxidase staining pattern of cryostat liver biopsy specimens from 16 chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was investigated using three different kinds of anti-HBc antibodies. Polyclonal antibody prepared from recombinant HBcAg seemed to be more sensitive in detecting HB...
متن کاملRapid detection of cytomegalovirus in cell culture by indirect immunoperoxidase staining with monoclonal antibody to an early nuclear antigen.
A method for the rapid detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in MRC-5 cells 48 h after inoculation with clinical specimens was developed. A commercially available monoclonal antibody to a CMV early nuclear antigen was used in an indirect immunoperoxidase (IPA) staining procedure performed directly on acetone-fixed cell monolayers in standard tubes (16 by 125 mm). Of 190 clinical specimens tested, ...
متن کاملP53 antigen expression in cutaneous Melanoma and its relation to tumor thickness
Background: P53 tumor suppressor gene mutation is one of the most common genetic alterations in human malignancies. The mutated from of the gene is stable and can be detected with immunohistochemistry methods. There is much controversy about the expression rate of this gene in malignant melanoma. Objective: To determine the frequency of the P53 antigen expression by sex, age, type and thickness...
