title: Immunoglobulin specificity for the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test conjugate.
abstract: Quantitative indirect immunofluorescence tests have demonstrated the predominance of immunoglobulin G antibody in most stages of syphilis. A class-specific anti-human immunoglobulin G conjugate is recommended to replace the present fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test conjugate. This would allow further definition and standardization of the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test.
