Detection and characterization of serum antitrichomonal antibodies in urogenital trichomoniasis.

摘要: Antibodies against Trichomonas vaginalis were detected in serum samples from 98 patients by three immunological assays. A good correlation was observed between the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence method, whereas it found that correlated better with current or past detection of organisms than did other serological methods (immunofluorescence hemagglutination). Similar results obtained whole trichomonads two T. soluble antigenic preparations, which suggests immunodominant moieties shared several strains detected. The level antibodies immunoglobulin class higher records trichomoniasis, but less significantly so total antitrichomonal antibody level. four G subclasses Immunoglobulin G1 values female male patients.
