Specific and nonspecific staining in detecting staphylococcal alpha toxin on erythrocytes by immunofluorescence
Infection and Immunity
|May 1, 1972
Abstract:
Specifically stained staphylococcal alpha toxin particles were detected on unstained and nonspecifically stained ghost membranes when rabbit erythrocytes were exposed to alpha toxin and stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled specific antitoxin. Fading of the nonspecific staining was observed and was attributed to the degradation of the membranes by alpha toxin.
