The use of antibodies, with a fluorescent marker dye attached, in order to detect whereabouts of specific antigens ... by formation of antibody-antigen complexes which show up on appropriate illumination. 6, record 1, English, - immunofluorescence
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The direct method utilizes a fluorochrome conjugated to an antibody, which is added directly to a tissue or cell suspension for the detection of a specific antigen. The indirect method permits detection of an antigen with a non-fluorochrome-conjugated antibody. 7, record 1, English, - immunofluorescence

L'immunofluorescence directe implique la fixation de l'échantillon (cellule ou micro-organisme) contenant l'antigène d'intérêt, sur une lame. Des anticorps marqués à la fluorescéine sont alors ajoutés à la lame et incubés. La lame est lavée pour enlever les anticorps non fixés puis examinée au microscope à fluorescence pour rechercher une fluorescence jaune-verte. La disposition de la fluorescence indique la localisation de l'antigène. L'immunofluorescence directe sert à l'identification d'antigènes tels que ceux de la surface des streptocoques de groupe A et au diagnostic d'Escherichia coli [...] 4, record 2, French, - immunofluorescence%20directe

Les autres méthodes non sérologiques comprennent l'immunofluorescence directe [et] les TAAN [tests d'amplification des acides nucléiques]. Dans le cas des femmes enceintes chez qui la syphilis est soupçonnée, il convient de prélever des morceaux de tissu placentaire après l'accouchement et de les soumettre à un test par immunofluorescence directe. 5, record 2, French, - immunofluorescence%20directe
