In fluid medium: ring precipitation In agar medium: Ag and Ab diffuse into the gel, at the meeting point will form precipitation arch. ex: Elek test Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] Ring precipitation quantitative Ag: soluble Ab: patient sera at Ag + Ab meeting point will form a precipitation ring Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] Elek test (detection of toxin) Ag: Corynebacterium culture Ab: filter paper with Ab produced against diphtheria (antitoxin) if the strain is toxin producer will appear precipitation arch Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] Quellung reaction Ag: unknown (bacteria with capsule) Ab: antibody produced against capsule if positive the capsule become opac and bigger Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] ELISA Ag: known, artificial Ab: unknown, patient sera Ab*: antihuman globulin labeld with enzyme Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] ELISA Ab-enzyme Ab from patient sera X Y Artificial Ag Ag Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] Immunfluorescent method (IF) - Ag: unknown, unlabeld - Ab: labeled with fluorescent dye (rhodanin, izothiocianat) - Ag + Ab fluorescence in UV light Methods: - direct: - Ag: unknown (Chlamydia) - Ab: known, labeled - indirect: - Ag: known - Ab: unknown - Ab*: labeled antiglobulin Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Direct IF Labeled Ab Ag Cell surface Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Indirect IF Labeled antihuman Ab Unlabeled Ab Ag Cell surface Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]  Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected] Vaccines Dr. Agoston Ghidan Institute of Medical Microbiology [email protected]
