[Serotyping of "Chlamydia psittaci" by microimmunofluorescence test (author's transl)]. 1981

F Eb, and J Orfila

Antisera from inbred mice (C57BL and C3H) improve the specificity of the microimmunofluorescence test. We used this method in the serotyping of 6 strains of Chlamydia psittaci of differing origin. Inspite of relatively marked cross-reactions it was possible to distinguish 3 groups: - the first group consisted of 2 strains of avian origin and the LGV strain 33L, - the second group consisted of 2 strains responsible for enzootic abortion in ewes, - in the third group, only 1 strain was found and this belonged to meningo-pneumonitis group. The results suggests than C. psittaci has a complex antigenic structure than does C. trachomatis.

D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
