[Production and testing of lyophilized standard preparation for diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by the indirect hemagglutination test].

A method for production of a reference lyophilized preparation for diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumonia infections in the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test has been developed. The method is based on conjugation using bi-diasotized benzidine of acrolein-treated sheep erythrocytes and ultrasonicated whole Mycoplasma antigen. After lyophilization the diagnostic preparation retained its standard properties for 1.5 years (the observation period). The sensitivity of the preparation in detection of antibody exceeded those of the CFT and the metabolism inhibition (MI) test 16--64-fold and the specificity was as good as in these tests. The diagnostic value of the preparation in the IHA was 78.1%, in the CFT--64.7%. As compared with the CFT and the MI test, the IHA with Mycoplasma diagnostic preparation is simple and reproducible.

[Humoral antiviral immunity in children with hematologic neoplasms].

Antiviral humoral immunity was studied in patients with Hodgkin's disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and aplastic anemia (AA). Insufficiency of antiviral humoral immunity as regards antigenically unrelated viruses and Mycoplasma pneumoniae was characteristic of all these conditions. A remission of Hodgkin's disease and ITP was associated with a reliable increase of the studied parameters in comparison with the acute period of the disease. After splenectomy humoral immunity parameters were virtually unchanged in patients with ITP, whereas in patients with Hodgkin's disease and AA the deficiency of antibody production is 40% increased after the operation.

[Diagnosis of mycoplasma infections using directed amplification].

Test systems for rapid detection of mycoplasmas in biological samples have been elaborated on the base of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amplification of the conservative rDNA sequences was used for testing of cell cultures for mycoplasmal contamination. Mycoplasma pneumoniae detection system has been developed based on amplification of the species-specific DNA sequences. Inversions of some repeated sequences in the Mycoplasma pneumoniae genome make it possible to run the PCR with a single primer. The revealed spacer length polymorphism for 16S-23S rDNA operons can be used in the mycoplasmas identification.
