متن کاملArylsulfatase activity for differentiating Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare.
Arylsulfatase activities (96-h reaction) of various strains of Mycobacterium avium and M. intracellulare, as identified by a DNA probe test, were measured. The enzyme activities of M. avium strains were significantly lower [corrected] than those of M. intracellulare strains (P less than 0.005 to P less than 0.025). The enzyme activities did not vary with serovar; that is, the activities of sero...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies against Mycobacterium avium/intracellulare.
Ten hybridoma cell lines prodacing monoclonaI antibodies (Mabs) against M. avium/intracellulare (Mai) serotype 8 were raised by the fusion of BALB/c mouse myeloma cells (SPZ) to spleen cells from immunized BALB/c mice. The specificity of the monoclonal antibodies was defined using their differing abilities to bind to sonicates from a range of mycobacterial species and strains. Tbe Mabs showed s...
