Isolation and antigenic characteristics of axial filaments from the Reiter Treponeme.
Axial filaments were isolated and purified from Reiter treponemes after detergent solubilization of the cells" outer envelope. The axial filaments were separated from the spirochetal cells by shearing, purified by density gradient centrifugation, and fragmented by ultrasonication. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of dissociated filaments revealed two major protein bands. Gel diffusion precipitin ...
متن کاملA simple procedure for the identification of nonsyphilitic reactions in serologic tests for syphilis in leprosy patients.
It has long been known that serologic tests for syphilis (S.T.S.) which utilize lipid antigens may show with sera from leprosy patients positive reactions in the absence of syphilitic disease, past or present (1-3). Due to the nationwide campaign against venereal disease in the last decade, the incidence of clinical syphilis has been markedly reduced. This has resulted in an apparent increase i...
متن کاملAdvances in the Diagnosis of Endemic Treponematoses: Yaws, Bejel, and Pinta
Improved understanding of the differential diagnosis of endemic treponematoses is needed to inform clinical practice and to ensure the best outcome for a new global initiative for the eradication of yaws, bejel, and pinta. Traditionally, the human treponematoses have been differentiated based upon their clinical manifestations and epidemiologic characteristics because the etiologic agents are i...
متن کاملSpirochetes in Body Fluids and Tissues
In the 1960's, it was demonstrated that Treponema pallidum can persist in the lymph nodes of patients with penicillin-treated late syphilis, and that the organism can be found in aqueous humor and spinal fluid in cases of late seronegative lues as well. Research in this field obviously requires acceptable standard methods. Following a workshop on the subject held at the Center for Disease Contr...
متن کاملStudies on the treponemal immobilization test.
Since the introduction of a serological test for syphilis by Wassermann, Neisser, and Bruck (1906), an immense amount of work has been carried out to improve tests for the detection of " reagin" in the sera of patients with syphilis. The relationship of reagin to the T. pallidum is still not settled with certainty and, although tests for the detection of this substance have reached a high degre...
