Enabling Engineer Officers as Terrain Experts (1998)
Terrain is a permanent and important aspect of all military operations. Today, the military study of terrain is called geospatial engineering, and it is the responsibility of engineers to maximize...
Detection of Escherichia coli Antigens by a Latex Agglutination Test
Hechemy, K., Stevens, R. W., Gaafar, H. A.
A latex particle agglutination technique to detect ethylenediaminetetraacetate-solubilized extracts from Escherichia coli and whole E. coli cells is described. The sensitivity of the serological test...
Schmidt, G, Amiraian, K, Frey, H, Wethers, J, Stevens, R W, Berns, D S
Antibody responses of 85 patients to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 antigens were quantitated by densitometric analysis of Western blot (immunoblot) assays. All patients had been classified into...
Fluoroimmunoassay studies with solubilized antigens from Borrelia burgdorferi.
Hechemy, K E, Harris, H L, Wethers, J A, Stevens, R W, Stock, B R, Reilly, A A, ...
Sodium deoxycholate-solubilized Borrelia burgdorferi antigen was prepared for use in a solid-phase fluoroimmunoassay (FIA-L) to detect antibodies in Lyme disease. Serum specimens were tested by FIA-L...
Schmidt, G, Amiraian, K, Frey, H, Stevens, R W, Berns, D S
Western blot assays for antibodies directed against components of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were examined with a densitometer and...
Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for treponemal antibody.
A new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Treponema pallidum antigen bound to ferrous metal beads (Syphilis Bio-EnzaBead; Litton Bionetics Laboratory Products) was compared with the standard...
Solid-phase fluoroimmunoassay for treponemal antibody.
An objective, solid-phase fluoroimmunoassay for treponemal antibody was developed with a lysate of virulent Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain) adsorbed on cellulose acetate disks. A probe containing...
Hechemy, K E, Stevens, R W, Sasowski, S, Michaelson, E E, Casper, E A, Philip, R N
Only 4.2% of 284 single specimens and 17.6% of 51 pairs of sera reactive in Weil-Felix agglutination tests for Rocky Mountain spotted fever were confirmed by a specific Rickettsia rickettsii...
Application of fluoroimmunoassay to cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulin G and albumin.
Stevens, R W, Elmendorf, D, Gourlay, M, Stroebel, E, Gaafar, H A
Special solid-phase fluoroimmunoasssay protocols were used to measure the amount of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin in 1,511 samples of cerebrospinal fluid. The fluoroimmunoassay is an inhibition...
Antigen distribution in a latex suspension and its relationship to test sensitivity.
Hechemy, K, Stevens, R W, Gaafar, H A
Specific aggregation of latex particles due to antigen-antibody reaction occurred only when antigen was latex bound, as found in a study using Escherichia coli 0111:B4 extract. Maximum serological...
HIV infection among women entering the New York State correctional system.
Smith, P F, Mikl, J, Truman, B I, Lessner, L, Lehman, J S, Stevens, R W, ...
Human immunodeficiency virus infection is the leading medical problem among prison inmates in several states. In 1988 a blinded seroprevalence study was conducted on 480 New York female prison...
