An antigen for the diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infections by passive hemagglutination. 1977

G Ghyka, and N Stoian, and C Sorodoc, and P Peiulescu, and J Osman, and D Puca

The authors establish the optimal conditions (protein concentration, temperature) for the coupling of purified mycoplasma antigen to sheep red blood cells, in order to obtain an antigenic complex stable for at least 1 year. This comples allows specific determination by passive hemagglutination--a simple and rapid technique--of anti-mycoplasma antibodies in the sera of men or animals suspected of mycoplasma infections. Under the stated experimental conditions, antibody titers equal to or higher than 1/128 indicate an infection with M. pneumoniae.

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.
