Improvement of complement fixation test antigen for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection. 1983

Y Mori, and Y Yoshida, and C Kuniyasu, and K Hashimoto

Several attempts were made to develop a complement fixation test antigen which is useful and practicable for the diagnosis of mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine. For the preparation of antigen, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was grown in broth medium containing horse serum for 14 days by shaking culture. Anticomplementary activity of antigen was eliminated by addition of complement and heating at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes. Storage of this antigen at 4 degrees C or at room temperature for 12 months had no significant effect on antigen titer. In the complement fixation test with this antigen, complement-fixing antibodies could be detected up to 41 weeks after experimental inoculation by KIO4 treatment of serum. They were demonstrated in 81.4% of 296 sera collected at slaughterhouses in five prefectures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009174 Mycoplasma A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D045729 Pneumonia of Swine, Mycoplasmal A chronic, clinically mild, infectious pneumonia of PIGS caused by MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE. Ninety percent of swine herds worldwide are infected with this economically costly disease that primarily affects animals aged two to six months old. The disease can be associated with porcine respiratory disease complex. PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA is often found as a secondary infection.
