Haemagglutination and haemagglutination inhibition with Mycoplasma synoviae
Abstract
A haemagglutinating antigen prepared from cultures of M synoviae WVU 1853 successfully detected homologous haemagglutination inhibition (HI) in sera of fowls and turkeys inoculated with M synoviae. Nonspecific HI was encountered with normal fowl sera but this was removed by treatment with receptor destroying enzyme. It is suggested that M synoviae. HA antigen will be a useful reagent for the diagnosis of M synoviae infection.
