Early detection of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi in peripheral monocyte cultures derived from experimentally infected monkeys and dogs. 1978

A Shirai, and V Sankaran, and E Gan, and D L Huxsoll

Rickettsia tsutsugamushi organisms were identified in Giemsa and fluorescent antibody stained monocyte cell cultures derived from experimentally infected monkeys and dogs. The identification of organisms in monocyte cell cultures compared favorably with the standard technique of mouse inoculation.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
