Human antibodies to porcine erythrocytes were found to bind to porcine but not to human zonae pellucidae, whereas human isohemagglutinins bound to human but not to porcine zonae. On the basis of the binding behavior of agglutinins, it was found that the immunofluorescence of porcine zonae produced by selected sera from infertile women was due to an antibody of different specifity from that which agglutinated pig red blood cells. However, no serum component other than heteroagglutinin was contained in selected sera from control subjects which fluoresced porcine zonae. Since the component was present in the immunoglobulin G fraction, bound to human zonae, and was reactive with zona-specific antigen(s), it was judged an autoantibody to zonae. Thus a method for specific detection of autoantibodies to zonae has been developed by indirect membrane immunofluorescence using porcine ova as targets.

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.
