Quantitative assessment of hemadsorption by myxoviruses: anti-immunoglobulin G hemadsorption-inhibition test.

A quantitative hemadsorption-inhibition test was developed to estimate myxovirus serum antibodies within 24 h by determining the serum dilution inhibiting hemadsorption in 50% of the infected cells. The test depends on the interactions of virus-infected cell monolayers with antiviral serum and of the resultant complexes with antiimmunoglobulin G serum. The incorporation of species-specific anti-immunoglobulin G serum into the test significantly increased sensitivity.

An adhesion-hemadsorption inhibition test for the detection of serum antibody to Mycoplasma gallisepticum.

A simple adhesion-hemadsorption inhibition (AHAI) test was developed for the detection of antibodies to Mycoplasma gallisepticum in the chicken sera. The AHAI antibody was detected simultaneously with HI antibody from sera of chickens intratracheally inoculated with viable cells of M. gallisepticum. A good correlation between HI and AHAI antibody titers was obtained with 382 (84.7%) of 451 sera from chickens reared on farms spontaneously contaminated with M. gallisepticum, whereas the remainder, 69 sera, was positive for HI but negative for AHAI test. It was not apparent whether the latters exhibited a non-specific reaction or the discrepancy was due to the lower sensitivity of AHAI reaction. The AHAI test does not require a great amount of antigen, special reagents or instruments, or pre-absorption treatment of test sera, and, therefore, it may serve as a simple serological test for detecting antibodies to M. gallisepticum.

Solid-phase hemadsorption assay for IgM antibody to Treponema pallidum in serum and umbilical cord blood.

A solid-phase hemadsorption assay (SPHA) for Treponema pallidum was evaluated using serum and umbilical cord blood. A total of 133 sera reactive using immunofluorescent antibody assay were tested by SPHA for IgM antibody against T. pallidum. They were categorized into clinical stages of syphilis, including eight sera with primary, 32 sera with secondary, 68 sera with latent, 21 sera with unclassified, and four sera with congenital syphilis. Sera were reactive for 75%, 90.6%, and 33.8% using SPHA in the primary, secondary, and latent phases, respectively. The method gave 57.1% reactivity for the unclassified phase of syphilitic sera and 100% reactive for the congenital syphilitic sera. All 80 immunofluorescent nonreactive sera were nonreactive by SPHA. Of 19 reactive cord blood samples tested, seven samples were reactive by SPHA. However, all 20 nonreactive umbilical cord blood samples were nonreactive by SPHA. The SPHA assay for the determination of IgM antibody to T. pallidum in serum appears to be sensitive for primary, secondary, and congenital syphilis. The SPHA assay in the cord blood is sensitive and specific.

Microadaption of hemadsorption inhibition for neutralization tests with pig hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus.

A microneutralization test is described, in which secondary pig thyroid cells are used and end points are determined by hemadsorption with hamster erythrocytes. The method is evaluated and compared with a macromethod, in which the fluorescent-antibody staining technique is applied for reading titers. The micromethod was found to be useful because of its sensitivity and rapidity.
