Abstract
The FTA-ABS [fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption] procedure was more sensitive and more specific than the VDRL [ Veneral Disease Research Laboratory] slide test, and more sensitive and just as specific as the TPI [Treponema pallidum Immobilization] test. The results and patterns obtained parallel those found in human syphilis.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
