Syphilitic infection leads to the production of nonspecific antibodies that react to cardiolipin. This reaction is the foundation of "non-treponemal" assays such as the VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) test[, a] flocculation type [test that uses] an antigen-antibody interaction. The complexes remain suspended and therefore visible due to the lipid based antigens. With the VDRL a microscope is required ... The VDRL assay detects an antibody against cardiolipin, a cellular membrane component that is released by cells when they are damaged by T. [Treponema] pallidum or in some other medical conditions.  3, record 1, English, - VDRL%20test

VDRL -- Il repose sur l’agglutination passive des anticorps dirigés contre l’antigène cardiolipidique fixé sur un support inerte constitué de cristaux de cholestérol. La formation de complexes antigènes-anticorps provoque la formation de floculats visibles au microscope, à faible grossissement. Le VDRL est simple, rapide et peu coûteux.  4, record 1, French, - test%20VDRL

Syphilitic infection leads to the production of nonspecific antibodies that react to cardiolipin. This reaction is the foundation of non-treponemal assays such as the VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) test and rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test. Both these test are flocculation type tests that use an antigen-antibody interaction. The complexes remain suspended and therefore visible due to the lipid based antigens. ... These non-treponemal tests are widely used for qualitative syphilis screening.  4, record 2, English, - non%2Dtreponemal%20test

Les tests non tréponémiques sont moins spécifiques car ils utilisent des antigènes cardiolipidiques. Ils ont pour caractéristique de se négativer le plus souvent après traitement et ne sont donc positifs que pour les syphilis actives.  6, record 2, French, - test%20non%20tr%C3%A9pon%C3%A9mique

TRUST (Toluidine Red Unheated Serum Test) TRUST is ... a standard status test for the quantitative and qualitative serologic detection of syphilis. Smooth negatives are attained by the use of a dye (toluidine red unheated serum) ... Room temperature storage, no glass ampules, and cost effective pricing make TRUST a sensitive and specific alternative for RPR [rapid plasma reagin] and other more expensive nontreponemal tests for syphilis.  2, record 3, English, - toluidine%20red%20unheated%20serum%20test
