A multi-country comparative study of two treponemal tests for the serodiagnosis of syphilis amongst men who have sex with men (MSM): Chemo-luminescent assay vs Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay [PDF]
Introduction International guidelines recommend routine screening for syphilis (aetiological agent: Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum) amongst key populations and vulnerable populations using tests detecting treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies.

The tradition algorithm approach underestimates the prevalence of serodiagnosis of syphilis in HIV-infected individuals. [PDF]
Currently, there are three algorithms for screening of syphilis: traditional algorithm, reverse algorithm and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) algorithm. To date, there is not a generally recognized diagnostic algorithm.

Stiden (Bp. Delo, 1924, No. 10) of all sedimentary reactions proposed for the diagnosis of syphilis, especially recommends the Kahn reaction, which, on the one hand, is distinguished by the simplicity of technical implementation, and on the other hand, it is not inferior in accuracy and sensitivity to the Wassermann reaction.

Liposomes: from August Wassermann to Vaccines Against COVID-19 [PDF]
Background and Purpose: The development of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a big challenge for many countries in 2020-2022. mRNA vaccines were shown to be effective and safe and have been widely used worldwide in the fight against the ...

On the use of alcoholized suspension of sp. pallida for serodiagnosis of syphilis
In our last communication (Geltzer and Yunusova) for serodiagnosis of syphilis, we proposed an alcoholized suspension of sp. pallida. In previous studies (Geltzer and Popov, Geltzer and Sushkova) with a number of antigens from sp.

Significance of the Sachs-Witebsky cytochol reaction for serodiagnosis of syphilis
Serology of syphilis, which has a relatively recent past (since 1907), in recent years has written into its pages a number of huge successes, which greatly facilitated the diagnosis of syphilis.

Evaluation of The Diagnostic Algorithms for Serodiagnosis of Syphilis.
We analyzed the performance parameters of the traditional and the reverse algorithms to find out which one is more convenient for serodiagnosis of syphilis. In total, 4789 serum samples were obtained in a cross-sectional study.

Recombinant antigen-based immuno-slot blot method for serodiagnosis of syphilis [PDF]
Three recombinant antigens of Treponema pallidum Nichols strain were fused with GST, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, resulting in high levels of GST-rTp47 and GST-rTp17 expression, and supplementation with arginine tRNA for the AGR codon was ...

The Wasserman, Kline and VDRL reactions in routine syphilis serodiagnosis.
The WR, Kline and VDRL reactions were compared in 496 cases of syphilis. The VDRL was significantly more sensitive than both WR and Kline.
