TABLE 1.
Reactivity of T. pallidum MAb H9-2 with PROS and T. vincentii whole cells during sequential subculture in mP4, NOS, or combinations of mP4 and NOS
| Treponema | Reactivity under indicated subculture conditionsa
|
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOS/NOS/NOS | NOS/mP4/NOS | mP4/NOS/mP4 | mP4/mP4/mP4 | |
| T. vincentii | Neg/neg/neg | Neg/neg/weak | Pos/pos/pos | Pos/pos/no growth |
| OMZ-802 | Neg/neg/neg | Neg/neg/weak | Pos/neg/pos | Pos/pos/weak |
| OMZ-804 | Pos/pos/no growth | Pos/pos/pos | Pos/pos/pos | Pos/pos/pos |
NOS and mP4 were used in the order indicated. The corresponding reactivities are similarly indicated. No stained cells were detected in negative (neg) reactions. Some lightly stained cells were detected, but most cells were not stained, in weak reactions. All, or nearly all, cells were well stained in positive (pos) reactions.
