T. [Treponema] pallidum hemagglutination(TPHA) test and microhemagglutination-T. pallidum(MHA-TP) test. In the TPHA test the antigen is a suspension of formalin-treated sheep erythrocytes coated with T. Pallidum antigens. The patient's serum is purified of nonspecific heteroagglutins and then added to the suspension. Agglutination of the erythrocytes indicates the presence of specific antibodies...

Techniques d'agglutination. Plusieurs techniques d'agglutination existent pour la détection des entérotoxines staphylococciques : hémagglutination, coagglutination et agglutination passive reverse de particules de latex. Il existe deux procédures d'hémagglutination, passive et reverse passive. Brièvement, les dilutions de l'échantillon à analyser sont ajoutées dans les puits et réagissent avec l'anticorps. Des entérotoxines érythrocytaires sont ensuite ajoutées et s'agglutinent avec les anticorps libres. L'agglutination se produit alors si l'échantillon ne contient pas d'entérotoxines. La méthode reverse passive est utilisée quand les anticorps ne s'agglutinent pas avec les globules rouges. L'anticorps est couplé avec des globules rouges de mouton et un deuxième anticorps est ajouté pour s'agglutiner à l'entérotoxine. L'agglutination se produit alors si des entérotoxines sont présentes dans l'échantillon. 1, record 7, French, - h%C3%A9magglutination%20passive

Haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test: an assay for the presence of specific antiviral antibodies in a test serum. The serum, usually a twofold dilution series, is mixed with a standard number, usually 4 to 8 HA units, of virus and incubated prior to the addition of a standard suspension of erythrocytes. The highest dilution of serum that inhibits haemagglutination is the HI titre of the serum. 4, record 10, English, - hemagglutination%20inhibition%20titer
