The Treponema pallidum particle agglutination(TP-PA) test is a treponemal test(confirmation test) for the serologic detection of antibodies to the various species and subspecies of pathogenic Treponema, the causative agents of syphilis, yaws, pinta, bejel, and endemic syphilis. The test is a passive agglutination procedure based on the agglutination of gel particles sensitized with T. pallidum antigens by antibodies found in the patient's serum. 6, record 1, English, - Treponema%20pallidum%20particle%20agglutination%20test

L'immunodiffusion est utilisée pour étudier les spécificités d'un Ac donné vis à vis de différents Ag (ou vice versa, d'un Ag donné vis à vis de différents Ac) : Antigène Ag et anticorps Ac solubles diffusent radialement, dans un milieu gélosé sérologiquement neutre, à partir de puits creusés dans le gel et où ont été réalisés les dépôts. Les complexes immuns qui se forment éventuellement à la rencontre de l'Ag et de l'Ac sont insolubles et précipitent sous la forme d'arcs d'immunoprécipitation. 3, record 2, French, - immunodiffusion

En réponse à une protéine étrangère, le système réticulo-endothélial peut produire plusieurs anticorps qui peuvent posséder une affinité pour des fractions différentes de cette protéine antigénique. On peut mettre en évidence ces composants différents en laissant l'antigène et le sérum qui contient les anticorps diffuser l'un vers l'autre à l'intérieur d'un gel. L'endroit où ils se rencontrent se marque d'une ligne blanche de précipité après 24 à 48 heures d'incubation à 37°. 1, record 4, French, - technique%20de%20diffusion%20des%20gels
