title: [Cytolysin as an immunoserological marker of Legionella pneumophila].
abstract: Coagglutination test (CoaT), radioimmunoassay (RIA) and ELISA were used for detection of cytolysin produced by L. pneumophila. The sensitivity of RIA was 100 ng/ml, CoaT--10-20 ng/ml, ELISA--1 ng/ml. To determine cytolysin production among various strains and species of Legionella, the authors studied bacterial ultrasonic lysates. All 11 strains of L. pneumophila tested were cytolysin-positive. L. longbeachae, L. bozemanii and L. dumoffii strains failed to produce cytolysin. The authors believe that an antigen of cytolysin can be used for identification of L. pneumophila.
