Heterophile Heterophile Antigens/AntibodiesAntigens/Antibodies
An antigen or antigenic determinant An antigen or antigenic determinant which is found in different tissues in which is found in different tissues in more than one species. more than one species.
These are antibodies found in one These are antibodies found in one specie of animal (such as humans) specie of animal (such as humans) which react against a component of which react against a component of another specie.another specie.
Paul Bunnell TestPaul Bunnell Test The original Paul-Bunnell test was a simple titration of The original Paul-Bunnell test was a simple titration of
sheep cell agglutinins but this procedure was subsequently sheep cell agglutinins but this procedure was subsequently modified in order to distinguish between sheep cell modified in order to distinguish between sheep cell agglutinins formed in IM and the Forssman-type antibodies agglutinins formed in IM and the Forssman-type antibodies found in normal serum, serum sickness and in certain other found in normal serum, serum sickness and in certain other conditions.conditions.
Tissues rich in Forssman antigen (guinea pig kidney) absorb Tissues rich in Forssman antigen (guinea pig kidney) absorb Forssman antibodies but do not affect the heterophil Forssman antibodies but do not affect the heterophil antibodies in IM.antibodies in IM.
Heterophil antibodies are absorbed by beef cells,Heterophil antibodies are absorbed by beef cells, Forssman hapten is a glycolipid usually associated with a Forssman hapten is a glycolipid usually associated with a

Davidsohn DifferentialDavidsohn Differential The principle behind the Paul-Bunnell-Davidsohn test is that The principle behind the Paul-Bunnell-Davidsohn test is that
the two types of sheep agglutinins are distinguished by the two types of sheep agglutinins are distinguished by titrating them before and after absorption with guinea pig titrating them before and after absorption with guinea pig kidney and ox cells.kidney and ox cells.
Patients serum containing antibodies due to IM is added to Patients serum containing antibodies due to IM is added to guinea pig kidney cells. These antibodies are not absorbed guinea pig kidney cells. These antibodies are not absorbed by the kidney cells. These antibodies then react with Beef by the kidney cells. These antibodies then react with Beef (Ox) red blood cells which causes agglutination and is a (Ox) red blood cells which causes agglutination and is a positive test for IM.positive test for IM.
Patients serum containing Forssman antibodies are added Patients serum containing Forssman antibodies are added to guinea pig kidney cells. Antibodies are absorbed by the to guinea pig kidney cells. Antibodies are absorbed by the kidney cells. These antibodies are then allowed to react kidney cells. These antibodies are then allowed to react with Beef red blood cells which does not cause with Beef red blood cells which does not cause agglutination. This is a positive test for Forssman antigens.agglutination. This is a positive test for Forssman antigens.
