Epidemiology of the sheep cell agglutination test.

چکیده
Recent research into the nature and significance of rheumatoid serum factors has been largely immunological and biochemical. The epidemiology of these components is virtually unknown. During recent years we have had the opportunity of studying several population samples, and data from these surveys have now been gathered and are presented with particular reference to the epidemiology of the serum factor which reacts with sheep cells sensitized by a rabbit anti-sheep haemolysin.

A Comparison of the Sheep Cell and Latex Agglutination Tests in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis contains a factor which causes agglutination of sensitized particulate bodies. This phenomenon has been demonstrated using sheep red cells (Waaler, 1940), collodion particles (Wallis, 1946), bacteria (Wager, 1950), polysterene latex particles (Singer and Plotz, 1956), and bentonite (Bozicevich, Bunim, Freund, and Ward, 1958).

متن کاملSheep Cell Agglutination Test in Chronic Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis.
In the last few years we have seen nineteen cases which we have regarded as showing the typical features of chronic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. More recently, stimulated by our interest in the intrathoracic manifestations of rheumatoid disease, we have carried out the sheep cell agglutination test (S.C.A.T.) at regular intervals as a routine measure. We have been interested to find that th...
متن کاملIsolation and Biotyping of Brucella Melitensis from Aborted Sheep Foetuses in Turkey
Aborted sheep foetuses were collected during the lambing seasons of 2004 to 2006. B. melitensis was isolated from 25 (29.76%) of 84 lungs and stomach contents. Based on the biochemical tests and agglutination test with monospecific A and M antisera, the isolates were determined as B. melitensis biotype 3. The isolation of the B. melitensis from aborted sheep foetuses may show the importance of ...
متن کاملThe agglutinating factor for sensitized sheep erythrocytes in serum and joint fluid from rheumatoid arthritis patients.
On May 6, 1949, a preliminary account was given before the Swedish Society for Internal Medicine of a special method for the sheep-cell agglutination test based on experiments made by the authors (Svartz and Schlossmann, 1949). A similar account was presented to the Seventh International Congress on Rheumatic Diseases, New York, 1949. First we must emphasize the fact that all human sera contain...
