Dourine and the Complement Fixation Test [PDF]
Parasitology, 1915 This paper is written with the purpose of drawing further attention to the value of the complement fixation reaction as a diagnostic test in dourine and of recommending a method of procedure and technique arrived at with an experience of 15,000 tests for dourine made at the Veterinary Research Laboratory, Lethbridge.

A COMPLEMENT FIXATION TEST FOR POLIOMYELITIS [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1955 A macroscopic (tube) complement fixation test for poliomyelitis, using infected tissue culture fluids, is described. The test was applied to 27 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of poliomyelitis. In 18 patients it was possible to make a laboratory diagnosis of poliomyelitis on the basis of a rise in complement-fixing antibody titer ...

European Inter-Laboratory Proficiency Test for Dourine Antibody Detection Using the Complement Fixation Test [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Dourine is a sexually transmitted parasitic disease affecting equids. Its causative agent is referred to as Trypanosoma equiperdum and the prescribed serodiagnosis method is the complement fixation test (CFT).

Evaluation of the comparative accuracy of the complement fixation test, Western blot and five enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for serodiagnosis of glanders. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 Glanders is a zoonotic contagious disease of equids caused by Burkholderia (B.) mallei. Serodiagnosis of the disease is challenging because of false-positive and false-negative test results.

Production of a Bacillus anthracis Secretome with Suitable Characteristics as Antigen in a Complement Fixation Test [PDF]
Life, 2022 In this study, we cultured the Bacillus anthracis vaccine strain Sterne 34F2 in a medium containing EDTA, and we assessed the best conditions to inhibit the activity of zinc-dependent metalloproteases to obtain a secretome containing a high concentration

Development of a Sterne-based Complement Fixation Test to monitor the humoral response induced by anthrax vaccines [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis spore-forming bacterium. Since it is primarily a disease of animals, the control in animals and humans depends on the prevention in livestock, principally cattle, sheep and goats.

Systematic monitoring of glanders-infected horses by complement fixation test, bacterial isolation, and PCR [PDF]
Veterinary and Animal Science, 2020 : Glanders is an equine zoonosis caused by Burkholderia mallei that is responsible for considerable economic loss. Complement fixation testing (CFT) using warm or cold incubation are recommended by the OIE, but many routinely used detection tests may ...

The Complement Fixation Test for Tuberculosis [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 1920 16. Summary The one hour fixation period in the water bath at 37°C. appears to be the optimum time and temperature for the complement fixation test with our antigens. Specially tested complement, if only one guinea-pig is killed should be used, but untested pooled complement from six or more guinea-pigs apparently gives ...

THE COMPLEMENT FIXATION TEST IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF VIRUS INFECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1941 A specific complement fixation test can be obtained in various central nervous system virus infections by using as antigens emulsions of infected brain tissue, freezing and thawing the brain emulsion, and then centrifuging it in an angle head centrifuge ...

Improvement in the definition of anti-HLA antibody profile in highly sensitized patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The definition of anti-HLA antibody profile in highly sensitized patients on a waiting list is crucial when virtual crossmatch is used in organ allocation systems, but also when used to identify the true deleterious anti-HLA antibodies.
