ON THE APPLICATION OF LUMINESCENT ANTIBODIES FOR ACCELERATED DIAGNOSIS OF ANTHRAX (OB USKORENNOI DIAGNOSTIKE SIBIRSKOI YAZVY S PRIMENENIE LYUMINISTSIRUYUSHCHIKH ANTITEL)
Abstract
The adsorbed tagged precipitating anthracic serum, obtained by us, is a specific preparation for the detection of the pathogen of anthrax in objects of the outer habitat (oats and hay), and also for the identification of cultures. Due to the brillant green-yellow luminescence of the circles (capsules) surrounding the microbial bodies, it is easy to detect the Bac. anthracis in oats and hay within 1 to 1.5 hours. Due to the intensive luminescence of the preparations treated with tagged serum and obtained from organs and tissues of animals that died of anthrax, the method of luminescing antibodies to be used for the diagnosis of anthrax in materials obtained from the cadavers of animals, must be improved.
