Agar-Gel Precipitin-Inhibition Technique for Histoplasmosis Antibody Determinations

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The agar-gel precipitin-inhibition technique has been modified to detect antibodies of Histoplasma capsulatum in sera from human clinical cases and experimental animals infected with this organism. By use of this modified technique, the histoplasmosis can be detected more consistently and reliably than with the direct agar-gel diffusion test, and titers are comparable to those attained by the complement-fixation serological technique.
