Demonstration of human antibodies to Pseudomonas pseudomallei by indirect fluorescent antibody staining. 1981

L R Ashdown

A rapid, reliable immunofluorescent assay for human antibodies to Pseudomonas pseudomallei was devised. The method was found to be sensitive and specific by inhibition tests and by tests for cross reactivity with antisera and cells of closely related pseudomonads other than Pseudomonas mallei. Preliminary studies suggest that the technique may be useful as a screening test for the detection of melioidosis and that demonstration of specific IgM by immunofluorescence may be of value in differentiating active from inactive infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008554 Melioidosis A disease of humans and animals that resembles GLANDERS. It is caused by BURKHOLDERIA PSEUDOMALLEI and may range from a dormant infection to a condition that causes multiple abscesses, PNEUMONIA and BACTEREMIA.

D011549 Pseudomonas A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, and plants. Chryseomonas,Pseudomona,Flavimonas
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.
