False positive complement fixation tests with respiratory virus preparations in bird fanciers with allergic alveolitis.
False positive raised complement fixation titres to egg-grown virus preparations were found in six pigeon fanciers suffering from extrinsic allergic alveolitis but not in six similar budgerigar fanciers. The raised titres in the pigeon fanciers fell fourfold over a short interval in the absence of avian exposure and were attributable to antibodies directed against antigens from hen's egg in whi...
متن کاملAvian erythrocyte agglutination tests with the sera of bird fanciers.
The agglutination of avian red cells, particularly pigeon and budgerigar cells, by sera from patients who had been exposed to birds and had respiratory symptoms, as well as from healthy bird fanciers, has been used to detect the presence of avian specific antibody. Agglutination tests performed by standard techniques using bird erythrocytes can be read within 45 minutes. One hundred and sixty-f...
متن کاملComplement Fixation Tests in Pertussis.
Bordet and Gengou (1), in 1906, performed serological tests on pertussis employing the organisms which they discovered and claimed to be the causative agent of whooping cough as the antigen for the complement fixation test. They got a positive reaction in most cases of the disease. Yet, later investigations failed to confirm these results. Among those who confirmed their results were Renaux (2)...
متن کاملComplement Fixation Tests in Poliomyelitis **
Infection with poliomyelitis virus gives rise to complement-fixing (C-F) antibodies which may be detected with antigens prepared either from the brains of infected mice or tissue culture fluids, as shown with Type II by Casals et al."' and with all three types by Svedmyr et al.' These workers used sufficient antigen in each test to obtain maximum sensitivity. With this antigen concentration the...
متن کاملconstruction of vector fields with positive lyapunov exponents
in this thesis our aim is to construct vector field in r3 for which the corresponding one-dimensional maps have certain discontinuities. two kinds of vector fields are considered, the first the lorenz vector field, and the second originally introced here. the latter have chaotic behavior and motivate a class of one-parameter families of maps which have positive lyapunov exponents for an open in...
