I m m u n o f l u o r e s c e n c e tests

Antichl,a~nydial Two immunofluorescence tests were compared for detecting antibodies to chlamydiae. The .inclusion antigen test was more sensitive, detecting antibodies in more sera and at higher titres. The micro-IF test was more specific, differentiating between antibodies to C. trachomatis and those to C.IOL 207. Antibodies to this non-genital chlamydial type accounted for half the positive results. These antibodies can cause the prevalence of C. trachornatis infections to be over estimated when genus-specific serology tests are used.

The sensitivity and specificity of direct antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA), M-antibody capture RIA (MACRIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test for the detection of CMV-specific IgM was compared using 40 sera selected from different groups of pati
