Detection of antibodies to Salmonella "O" antigens in typhoid fever by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. I. Description of technique. 1979

R Hernández-Velarde, and O Muñoz, and G Garduño-Rodríguez, and S Gonzáles-Arroyo, and G Gutiérrez

In the serum of patients with typhoid fever counterimmunoelectrophoretic techniques were used for the detection of antibodies to Salmonella "O" antigen. Lipopolysacharides (LPS) obtained with phenol and water from Salmonella typhi (antigens 0, 9 and 12) were used. Positive results were obtained in those patients with typhoid fever (20). The lower and higher titration levels were 1:8 and 1:32 respectively; the geometric mean was 1:16. The variation coefficient during the intra assay tests was 0.19, and remained stable throughout the inter-assay tests. Reproducibility, as well as a rapid technique, make this test a valuable tool for the serologic diagnosis of typhoid fever.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D003378 Counterimmunoelectrophoresis Immunoelectrophoresis in which immunoprecipitation occurs when antigen at the cathode is caused to migrate in an electric field through a suitable medium of diffusion against a stream of antibody migrating from the anode as a result of endosmotic flow.
