Fleming Test in Serodiagnosis of Syphilis [PDF]
To the Editor:— A communication from Dr. Bernard Oettinger calls my attention to an omission in my article on serum diagnosis of syphilis (The Journal, August 27, 1910) I quoted Bassett-Smith as having found the Fleming modification unsatisfactory. In a later communication Bassett-Smith revises his previous opinion of the Fleming test as the result of

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 ...

One of the modifications of Wassermann's reaction, Katzr's method, is known to focus on complement by titrating it per se in the presence of normal serum, syphilitic antigen, and antigen together with normal serum.

CONCERNING LANDAU'S COLOR TEST FOR SERODIAGNOSIS OF SYPHILIS [PDF]
Recently Landau1has described an iodin color reaction in syphilis for which he claims a high degree of specificity as compared with the Wassermann reaction. On account of the simplicity of the test and the claims made it has attracted considerable attention, so that I have thought it advisable briefly to record my observations, although they have not ...

Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of TpN17 and TmpA recombinant proteins in syphilis detection: a phase II study [PDF]
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the spiral bacterium Treponema pallidum. Diagnosis is based on epidemiology, clinical and serology, but serodiagnosis is challenging because distinct clinical forms of the infection may ...

Evaluation of a minimal array of Treponema pallidum antigens as biomarkers for syphilis diagnosis, infection staging, and response to treatment [PDF]
Syphilis is a multistage chronic sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum). Today, syphilis is still endemic in low- and middle-income nations and has become resurgent in many high-income ...

Serodiagnosis of Syphilis in the Recombinant Era: Reversal of Fortune [PDF]
(See the article by Park et al, on pages 1297–304.) Treponema pallidum, the spirochete that causes syphilis, cannot be cultured. As a result, syphilis is usually diagnosed by tracking the immunologic footprints of its etiologic agent. Serodiagnosis of syphilis requires the detection of 2 distinct types of antibodies, nontreponemal and treponemal [1].
