Inhibition of leptospiral agglutination by the type-specific main antigens of leptospiras.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microscopic agglutination of leptospiras was inhibited by the homologous type-specific main antigens. The result may indicate that the substance participating in the agglutination of leptospiras with antiserum is the type-specific main antigen.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with global distribution that caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Accurate diagnosis for differentiation of leptospirosis from other pyrogenic infections prevailing in the same locality and is imperative for proper treatment. Therefore a molecular diagnostic test with high specificity and sensitivity such as PCR is essential. Gene encodi...

A microtechnique has been developed and adapted successfully to the microscopic agglutination test with live antigens for detection of leptospiral antibodies. Simultaneous titrations were performed by the conventional microscopic agglutination test and the microtechnique. When the microtechnique was used to screen 50 unknown leptospiral strains with a battery of hyperimmune sera, 98% agreement ...
متن کاملPreparation and in-vitro characterization of alginate microspheres incorporating leptospiral antigens as a delivery system and adjuvant
Leptospirosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide. Currently, multivalent whole-cell leptospiral vaccines can induce protection against leptospirosis. Therefore, preparation and formulation of new generations of vaccines that can stimulate long-term immunity for leptospirosis control are essential. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres ...
