Popis: Technical approaches to construction of preparations for serologic diagnostics of Legionella infection were presented in the article; antigenic- and immunoglobulin-based diagnostic kits with known characteristics were developed. Immunogenic properties of protein and lypopolysaccharide antigens, which have diagnostic value, were studied; similarity of protein antigens from 7 serogroups of L. pneumophila was demonstrated. Soluble antigen with known composition was obtained and used for the development of antigen-based polymeric kit for diagnostics of Legionella infection. On the basis of hyperimmune sera, immunoglobulin-based polymeric diagnostic kit and array of coagglutinating diagnostic kits for the mentioned 7 serogroups were developed. Antigen-based polymeric diagnostic kit was recommended for licensure.
