β¦ Synopsis
Fifty infectious mononucleosis (IM) and 150 noninfectious mononucleosis (non-IM) sera were tested by a hemadsorption immunocapture test (HIT) for the detection of heterophile antibodies of IgM, IgA, and IgE classes. The specificity of Paul-Bunnell (PB) antibodies was ascertained by a differential absorption test. IgM PB-antibodies were demonstrated in 100% of IM sera, IgA in 92%, and IgE in 88%. PB antibodies were present only in IM sera; but other heterophile antibodies of IgM (68%), IgA (6.7%), and IgE (9.3%) classes were demonstrated in non-IM sera. IgA and IgE heterophile antibodies were thus present, especially in IM sera. HIT was found to be more sensitive than Paul-Bunnell Davidsohn test (PBD test) and suitable for the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.

## Background: Anti-dna topoisomerase i (anti-topo i) antibodies have been broadly studied in systemic sclerosis (ssc). the use of different native and molecularly cloned antigens has shown a predominant igg response, and a variable frequency of positive igm and iga tests. we report herein the sero
## Abstract Sera from infectious mononucleosis patients aged 2 to 35 years and from normal subjects aged 11 to 35 years were examined for the presence of antibody to the EB virus capsid antigen (VCA) in the indirect immunofluorescence test, and for the presence of antibody reactive with the soluble
Patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) have autoantibodies directed against epitopes on Ξ² 2 glycoprotein I (Ξ² 2 GPI).
