Purified axial filaments from the cultivable Reiter treponeme, previously shown to share an antigenic component with pathogenic Treponemia pallidum, were evaluated as antigen in a diagnostic test for syphilis. Antibody to the filaments was revealed by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. Conditions that produced optimal results in the test were established. A total of 343 sera from normal individuals, biological false-positive reactors, and from patients in the different stages of syphilis were subjected to the test. The results indicate the test to be sensitive and highly specific for detecting treponemal antibodies in human syphilis.
从可培养的赖特密螺旋体中提纯的轴丝,先前已证明其与致病性梅毒螺旋体有共同的抗原成分,在梅毒诊断试验中作为抗原进行了评估。通过对流免疫电泳检测针对轴丝的抗体。确定了在该试验中产生最佳结果的条件。对来自正常个体、生物学假阳性反应者以及处于梅毒不同阶段患者的总共343份血清进行了该试验。结果表明该试验在检测人类梅毒中的密螺旋体抗体方面具有敏感性和高度特异性。
