Assessment of the Reiter Protein Complement-fixation (rpcf) Test in a Routine Serological
At St. Thomas's Hospital we were led to try the RPCF test by the preliminary report of De Bruijn (1957), in which he showed with 116 syphilitic sera that this test was considerably more sensitive than the Wassermann reaction (WR). The technique appeared simple, the antigen was available commercially and the test was in no way difficult for the routine laboratory. De Bruijn gave no precise detai...
متن کاملAdvantage of a routine Reiter protein complement-fixation test in the serodiagnosis of syphilis in pregnancy.
One hundred and twenty-seven (0.3%) reactive serological tests for syphilis were obtained by routine examination of sera from 35,912 antenatal patients.Forty-eight (38%) of these reactive sera were associated with reactive fluorescent treponemal antibody and Treponema pallidum immobilization results and these patients were therefore considered to show serological evidence of treponemal infectio...
متن کاملThe Reiter protein complement-fixation test using the Auto-Analyzer.
A method for the Reiter protein complement-fixation test using the Techncon AutoAnalyzer is described. Two hundred and fifty sera were tested, when six false-positive and nine false-negative results were obtained when compared with results obtained by the manual method. Deep freezing the sera before testing on the AutoAnalyzer increased the sensitivity so that in a further 250 sera tested no fa...
متن کاملSpecificity and sensitivity of the Reiter protein complement-fixation (RPCF) test. Report on 1,400 selected sera.
The reliability of the sero-diagnosis of syphilis depends on the specificity and the sensitivity of the tests used. The specificity of a test is determined by the nature of the antigen; the sensitivity depends mainly on the technique by which the test is performed. The most specific though not the most sensitive test at the moment is, without doubt, the T. pallidum immobilization (TPI) test of ...
متن کاملAn examination of the treponemal Wassermann reaction and Reiter protein complement-fixation test.
Less than one year after the description of the Treponema pallidum by Schaudinn and Hoffman, the first report of the application of the complementfixation reaction of Bordet and Gengou (1901) to the diagnosis of human syphilis was published in Budapest by Detre (1906), exactly 2 weeks after the appearance of the classical paper "A Sero-diagnostic Reaction in Syphilis" by Wassermann, Neisser, an...
