Direct fluorescence antibody testing augments syphilis diagnosis, compared to serology alone
International Journal of STD & AIDS, 2021 In Ottawa, Canada, we initiated protocols to include non-serologic syphilis testing, as direct fluorescence antibody (DFA) for patients with syphilis symptoms. The purpose was to assess the ability of DFA to detect syphilis during acute infection and to determine if non-serologic testing could yield an increased number of syphilis diagnoses.

Optimal fluorescein-to-protein ratios of bacterial direct fluorescent-antibody reagents [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981 A number of bacterial systems were studied with specific direct fluorescent-antibody reagents prepared from rabbit antiserum fractions and having a wide range of fluorescein-to-protein ratios. These systems included Bacteroides, Bordetella, Clostridium, Escherichia, Legionella, Listeria, Salmonella, Shigella, and Streptococcus. For all systems studied,
