ABSTRACT:
A method to produce actively growing mycoplasma organisms in microcolonies and which have a high content of species specific membrane antigen, is disclosed. The specific membrane antigen can be used to detect specific antibodies against mycoplasma in a patient's serum samples. It can also be used to elicit antibody production in animals so that the specific membrane antigen of mycoplasma can be detected using animal antibody tracers, in the sputum of patients having a mycoplasma infection.
