A COMPLEMENT FIXATION TEST IN LEPROUS CASES WITH THE OHTA'S ACID PROOF BACILLI

Detection of rotavirus by Latex Agglutination Test (Rotales); Comparison with Electron Microscopy and Complement Fixation Test

An evaluation of the Maillard-Gagliardo complement fixation test in leprosy; a review of 100 cases.

The results of a modified Middlebrook-Dubos hemagglutination test in leprosy were reported recently from this laboratory (4). Old Tuberculin 4X Lederle was employed in that test to sensitize the sheep red blood cells. In a series of 261 cases it was observed that titers above those found in controls occurred in 231 cases, or 88.5 per cent. In 1951 Maillard and Gagliardo (1) described a compleme...

Quantitative micro-complement fixation test.

A quantitative micro-complement fixation test capable of detecting nanogram quantities of antigen is described. The test is simple to perform and is highly reproducible. Typical results from three antigen-antibody systems are given.

A Complement-Fixation Test for Kala-Azar

A Complement Fixation Test for Poliomyelitis

A macroscopic (tube) complement fixation test for poliomyelitis, using infected tissue culture fluids, is described. The test was applied to 27 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of poliomyelitis. In 18 patients it was possible to make a laboratory diagnosis of poliomyelitis on the basis of a rise in complement-fixing antibody titer and in 4 others on the basis of a high stationary antibody ...
