Agar-gel precipitin-inhibition technique for plague antibody determinations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An application of the agar-gel precipitin-inhibition technique we described previously can be used to detect plague antibodies in human and animal sera after a series of plague vaccine inoculations or after exposure to Pasteurella pestis. Determination of the minimal reacting concentrations of the plague antigen and antibody reagents, methods for combining reagents, and length of incubation periods are discussed.

Agar-gel precipitin-inhibition technique for histoplasmosis antibody determinations.
The agar-gel precipitin-inhibition technique has been modified to detect antibodies of Histoplasma capsulatum in sera from human clinical cases and experimental animals infected with this organism. By use of this modified technique, the histoplasmosis can be detected more consistently and reliably than with the direct agar-gel diffusion test, and titers are comparable to those attained by the c...

An application of the agargel precipitin-inhibition technique of Ray and Kadull detects the C-reactive protein present in the acute-phase human sera. The sensitivity of this procedure is compared with the capillary tube-precipitin method of Selman and Halpern.
متن کاملComparison of the reliability and sensitivity of three serological procedures in detecting antibody to Yersinia pestis (Pasteurella pestis).
Three serological procedures, the agar-gel precipitin inhibition, the complement fixation, and the indirect hemagglutination tests, were used to detect and measure antibody to Yersinia pestis in the sera from 383 individuals. Although all three tests were useful in detecting plague antibody, the most reliable and sensitive test procedure was indirect hemagglutination.

The human immune response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection was studied by using the double diffusion in agar-gel technique. Antigens from Fisher-Devlin-Gnabasik immunotypes were prepared by both trichloroacetic acid extraction and ultrasonic disruption. Serum from 72 of 168 patients (43%) from whom P. aeruginosa was isolated formed from one to eight precipitin bands. Precipitins were demonst...
متن کاملPhotographic recording of precipitin bands in agar gel.
The method for producing antigen-antibody precipitin bands in agar gel, due to Ouchterlony, is becoming increasingly useful in diagnostic immunology as well as in research into antibody-antigen reactions. For both these purposes a dimensionally accurate record of all bands, including faint lines, crossovers, and spurs, is necessary for correct interpretation of the plate. The dimensional accura...
