Passive hemagglutination test for bovine chlamydial abortion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purified chlamydial elementary bodies were subjected to sonic lysis to produce soluble antigen for passive hemagglutination (PHA). PHA was more sensitive than complement fixation (CF) in detecting antibody in hyperimmunized rabbits, lambs, and calves. Both CF and PHA tests were used to monitor antibody responses in experimentally infected pregnant cows. All animals responded with rises in titers after experimental infection. Titers declined and then increased a second time near the time of abortion. PHA titers were considerably higher than CF titers.

Because 7S immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies of low type specificity were present in mixtures with highly specific 19S IgM antibodies, many bovine antisera to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A(12), strain 119 cross-reacted with type O of FMDV and to some degree with type C in the passive hemagglutination (HA) test. After 19S IgM antibodies were separated by density gradient centrifugati...

Purified coronavirus, detergent extracts of purified coronavirus, and virus-infected Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells were evaluated as antigen substrates in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and passive hemagglutination systems. Only detergent-extracted and -unextracted, purified viruses were reactive as antigen substrates in ELISA, whereas all three antigen preparations could be used f...

An indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test is described for chlamydial antibodies in psittacosis diagnostic sera; for this test tanned sheep erythrocytes sensitized with a deoxycholate extract of Chlamydia psittaci grown in Vero cell monolayers were used. Adaptation of the IHA test to the Microtiter system decreased sensitivity; nevertheless, the Microtiter-IHA test was more sensitive than the com...
متن کاملFactors affecting the passive hemagglutination titration: dilution loops, titration trays, vibration, diluents.
Serial dilution with Takatsy loops resulted in exaggerated passive hemagglutination titers with most of the anti-bovine serum albumin sera tested. It appears that certain types of agglutinins adhere to the loop surface and are released only gradually. This adherence, or carry-over effect, was prevented by presoaking loops in gelatin or gelatin-rabbit serum-albumin solutions. Hemolysins did not ...
