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 ... The microhemagglutination version is quite similar, but is assessed microscopically. 5, record 8, English, - MHA%2DTP%20test

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 9, English, - Treponema%20pallidum%20particle%20agglutination%20test
