A passive hemagglutination (PHA) assay for antibody to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin is described which utilizes chromic chloride-treated ovine erythrocytes coated with purified toxin. PHA antitoxin titers correlated well with those obtained by a cytotoxicity neutralization assay (r = 0.91, P less than 0.001), whereas the PHA assay was four to eight times as sensitive. The mean serum PHA titer of 16 patients convalescing from recent pseudomonas infections (log2 = 9.4 +/- 3.9) was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) than that of 17 healthy controls (2,7 +/- 2.6), and fourfold or greater rises were demonstrated in 5 of 7 patients examined sequentially. The lower levels of PHA antibody in sera from 11 of 17 controls suggested the acquisition of antitoxin secondary to asymptomatic infection.
本文描述了一种用于检测抗铜绿假单胞菌外毒素抗体的被动血凝(PHA)试验,该试验利用经氯化铬处理的、包被有纯化毒素的绵羊红细胞。PHA抗毒素滴度与通过细胞毒性中和试验获得的滴度相关性良好(r = 0.91,P < 0.001),而PHA试验的敏感性则高4至8倍。16例近期铜绿假单胞菌感染康复患者的血清PHA平均滴度(log2 = 9.4 +/- 3.9)显著高于17例健康对照者(2.7 +/- 2.6)(P < 0.001),在7例连续检测的患者中,有5例显示滴度升高4倍或更高。17例对照者中有11例血清中PHA抗体水平较低,提示无症状感染后获得了抗毒素。
