The factor in sera of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their parents which agglutinates Proteus vulgaris has characteristics similar to those of IgG antibody to this organism. Sera of patients without CF who have P. vulgaris infections agglutinate the organism similarly. At present there are too many false-positives in a control population for the test to be widely useful for heterozygote identification.
囊性纤维化(CF)患者及其父母血清中能凝集普通变形杆菌的因子具有与该生物体IgG抗体相似的特征。患有普通变形杆菌感染的非CF患者血清也能同样地凝集该生物体。目前,在对照人群中假阳性太多,以至于该检测无法广泛用于杂合子鉴定。
