[Demonstration of envelope-containing viruses by the agglutination of antibody-coated Staphylococcus aureus]. 1984

L Dumanova, and L Vasileva, and I Gogov

A rapid agglutination method was worked out for the demonstration of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and the bovine leukosis virus (BLV) with the use of specific antibody-charged Staphylococcus aureus cells. It consists in the production of formalin-treated St. aureus cells, their sensibilization with specific antibodies, and their agglutination with the respective viral antigens. The latter were obtained from cell lines infected with NDV, resp., BLV as well as with purified NDV. It is concluded on the basis of the results obtained that the agglutination test suggested is rapid, specific, and sensitive and can be employed as an adjunct means in various immunochemical investigations and in the practice for the demonstration of the virus in infectious material.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009522 Newcastle disease virus The most well known avian paramyxovirus in the genus AVULAVIRUS and the cause of a highly infectious pneumoencephalitis in fowl. It is also reported to cause CONJUNCTIVITIS in humans. Transmission is by droplet inhalation or ingestion of contaminated water or food. Avian Paramyxovirus 1,Paramyxovirus 1, Avian
D001909 Leukemia Virus, Bovine The type species of DELTARETROVIRUS that causes a form of bovine lymphosarcoma (ENZOOTIC BOVINE LEUKOSIS) or persistent lymphocytosis. BLV,Bovine Leukemia Virus,Cattle Leukemia Virus,Leukemia Virus, Cattle,Virus, Bovine Leukemia,Virus, Cattle Leukemia
D000372 Agglutination Tests Tests that are dependent on the clumping of cells, microorganisms, or particles when mixed with specific antiserum. (From Stedman, 26th ed) Agglutination Test,Test, Agglutination,Tests, Agglutination
D000907 Antibodies, Bacterial Immunoglobulins produced in a response to BACTERIAL ANTIGENS. Bacterial Antibodies
D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D000956 Antigens, Viral Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. Viral Antigen,Viral Antigens,Antigen, Viral
D012190 Retroviridae Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
