  • Title: Indirect hemagglutination test for chlamydial antibodies.
    Author: Lewis VJ, Thacker WL, Engelman HM.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1972 Jul; 24(1):22-5. PubMed ID: 4626906.
    Abstract:
    An indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test is described for chlamydial antibodies in psittacosis diagnostic sera; for this test tanned sheep erythrocytes sensitized with a deoxycholate extract of Chlamydia psittaci grown in Vero cell monolayers were used. Adaptation of the IHA test to the Microtiter system decreased sensitivity; nevertheless, the Microtiter-IHA test was more sensitive than the complement fixation test. Lymphogranuloma venereum antibodies also were detected by using antigen extracted from C. psittaci.
