Key result

Concentrated Lansing virus antigen detects complement-fixing antibodies in immunized rats, monkeys, and some humans.

Why the study?

Can complement-fixing antibodies be demonstrated in experimental and human poliomyelitis using concentrated Lansing virus as antigen?

Population

Rats immunized with formalized Lansing virus, convalescent monkeys, and convalescent humans

Comparison

Implication

May support complement-fixation assays for poliomyelitis serology; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective human validation before diagnostic use.

Structured PICO

Can complement-fixing antibodies be demonstrated in experimental and human poliomyelitis using concentrated Lansing virus as antigen?

P
Population
Rats immunized with formalized Lansing virus, convalescent monkeys, and convalescent humans
I
Intervention
Concentrated Lansing virus from cotton rats used as antigen for complement fixation
C
Comparator
Normal animals (rats)
O
Outcome
Demonstration of complement-fixing antibodiessurrogate

The study demonstrates that complement-fixing antibodies can be detected in experimental and human poliomyelitis using concentrated Lansing virus as an antigen.

Limitations

  • Results with rat sera are complicated by the presence of antibodies against components of normal brain and spinal cord in both immune and normal animals

Cite This Study

Loring et al. (1947) studied Poliomyelitis. Concentrated Lansing virus antigen was evaluated on Demonstration of complement-fixing antibodies. Complement-fixing antibodies were successfully demonstrated in immunized rats, convalescent monkeys, and some convalescent humans using concentrated Lansing virus as an antigen.
