FLUORESCEIN-LABELLED ANTIBODY FOR THE DETECTION OF THE ANTHRAX BACILLUS-1

Abstract

Precipitating anthrax sera labelled with fluorescein isocyanate were prepared and the results of this study show that it is possible to diagnose and identify anthrax from pseudoanthrax and other Gram-positive bacteria by its bright fluorescence.
