| Popis: | SummaryVirulent T. pallida, which are normally stained by methylene blue, become resistant to the dye following incubation with syphilitic serum and complement. The responsible factor in syphilitic serum is associated if not identical with treponemal immobilizing antibody. The reaction provides the basis for a specific diagnostic test for syphilis. |
