Antigens infectious mononucleosis

Immunocytochemical methods were developed to detect specific antibodies in sera from patients affected by different infectious diseases. P3-HR1 cells, which express Epstein-Barr-virus-induced virus capsid antigens (VCA), were used to search for specific human IgM (class M immunoglobulins) to VCA in infectious mononucleosis patients. After treatment of cells with serial dilutions of sera, HRP-conjugated anti-IgM antibody was added and detected with CL substrate [25],... 

A growing application of the strip type of technology for immunoassay is for infectious disease testing and the rapid detection of various infectious antigens and antibodies including Chlamydia,group A streptococci, " Helicobacter pylori, ° infectious mononucleosis, and human immunodeficiency virus. These tests commonly use a lateral-flow format for urine, serum, plasma, or whole blood samples in conjunction with analytical techniques, such as enzyme immunoassay and immunochromatography. An alternative...

The principal glycoproteins of equine and porcine erythrocyte membranes have been examined. The principal equine glycoprotein (mol. wt. 3.3 x 10 ), which contains 53.8% carbohydrate, is associated with the activity of the infectious mononucleosis heterophile antigen. Two principal groups of porcine glycoproteins were isolated one (mol. wt. 4.62 x 10 ) contains 65.8% carbohydrate, and the other (mol. wt. 2.9 x 10 ) contains 49.6% carbohydrate. They differ in activity towards the lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris.
