An Hemagglutination Test for Titration of Antibodies to Polioviruses.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1958
SummaryAn hemagglutination technic for the titration of antibodies to polioviruses has been described. The HA titers showed approximately a 75% correlation with neutralizing antibody. The virus-sensitized cells did not remain agglutinable for more than 2 days at 5°C, but have proven stable for at least 6 weeks when kept frozen. An antigenic cross among

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...

Smoking and serological response to influenza vaccine

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
Cigarette smoking confers additional risk from influenza. This study assessed the effect of smoking on humoral immune response to influenza vaccine. Adults ≥50 y of age were enrolled during the 2011–2016 influenza vaccination seasons in an observational ...

Preliminary Report on a Hemagglutination Test for Entamoebae.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1961
SummaryAntigens prepared from E. invadens and E. histolytica, DKB strain grown in monomicrobial culture with T. cruzi in Phillips' medium have demonstrated high sensitivity and been used successfully in reciprocal hemagglutination tests with specific antisera prepared in rabbits. The antigen prepared from E.

Analysis of the Diluents Used for Rubella Virus Hemagglutination and Hemagglutination-Inhibition Tests [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1969
A new diluent (ADGP) for the rubella virus hemagglutination (HA) and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests is described. It was found that the HA and HI titers and the erythrocyte agglutination pattern were improved in ADGP compared to previously described diluents.

Predictive Value of Laboratory Assays Toward Autoimmune Diseases

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
With an increasing number of unmet medical needs for autoimmune diseases (AD) in the United States, it is important to assess the value of laboratory assays in diagnosis. Healthcare providers must understand general and specific laboratory results that can lead to an efficient diagnosis.

A rapid and affordable point of care test for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 based on hemagglutination and artificial intelligence interpretation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Diagnostic tests that detect antibodies (AB) against SARS-CoV-2 for evaluation of seroprevalence and guidance of health care measures are important tools for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Current tests have certain limitations with regard to turnaround

Application of a ddRT-PCR to quantify seasonal influenza virus for viral isolation

Biosafety and Health, 2022
Viral isolation in cell cultures has been regarded for decades as the “gold standard” for the laboratory diagnosis of influenza viral infections. Not all viral strains could be isolated from clinical samples.

Stable mycoplasma antigen preparations for indirect hemagglutination tests.

Applied microbiology, 1974
In immunological studies of mycoplasmas, the use of glutaraldehyde for the fixative makes it possible to use erythrocytes from commercially available defibrinated sheep blood. It eliminates the necessity of having to screen blood from individual sheep to
