A Method for Coupling Protein Antigens to Erythrocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A serological technique, using formalinized red cells coupled to tuberculin PPD as antigen, has been assayed in a trial series of 124 tuberculous and 139 non-tuberculous patients. The stability of the antigen preparation, and the omission of an adsorption procedure for the removal of isoagglutinins facilitated the performance of the test. The results indicate that the technique warrants further trial as a diagnostic criterion of infection tuberculosis.

648 Coupling Protein Antigens to Ei
A method has been described whereby tuberculin P P D is linked to formalinized erythrocytes by a coupling agent, tetrazotized benzidine (1). These antigen-coated erythrocytes are agglutinated by ant ibody to PPD. I t was observed that P P D could inhibit the hemagglutination more effectively than could polysaccharide I. I t appears, therefore, tha t the ant ibody concerned is directed toward th...
متن کاملCloning rhoptry protein 1 (ROP1) gene of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) in expression vector
Toxoplasma gondii contain various immunogenic antigens. The most important Toxoplasma antigens are somatic and excreted/secreted antigens. Rhoptry proteins are known as excreted/secreted antigens. These antigens have been proposed as a vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis. The main objective of the present work was cloning rhoptry protein1 (ROP1) Gene of Toxoplasma gondii (RH) in a cloning...
متن کاملImmunofluorescent protein detection in Western blotting
This report describes the detailed procedures for Western blot analysis using fluorescent antibodies. After electrophoresis and subsequent electroblotting, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies were visible upon ultraviolet illumination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and could then be photographed to give an accurate record of the blots. Fluorescent labeling allows for photographi...
متن کاملAntibody titers of PEG-PLA block copolymer nanosphere containing chimeric recombinant protein of protective antigen and lethal factor of Bacillus anthracis
Introduction: To date, many vaccines have been developed for anthrax but not yet an ideal vaccine. In this study, chimeric protein containing domain 1 lethal factor and domain 4 protective antigens of Bacillus anthracis in copolymer nanocapsules were used to solve the problems caused by existing vaccines and to increase the efficiency of the proposed vaccine. Materials and Methods: In this expe...
متن کاملProduction of MPT-64 recombinant protein from virulent strain of Mycobacterium bovis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic infectious disease common to humans and animals which has been caused by a rod shaped, acid fast bacterium, called Mycobacterium bovis. The rapid and sensitive detection is a great challenge for TB diagnosis. The virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) have 16 different regions of difference (RD) in their genome which encode some important a...
