Detection of cytomegalovirus antibody with latex agglutination.
Transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections should be prevented in seronegative immunocompromised patients by providing blood products from donors who are also seronegative. Latex agglutination was investigated as a simple and rapid method for detecting antibody against CMV. Latex beads were coated with CMV antigen, incubated for 8 min at room temperature with 25 microliter of sera, a...
متن کاملEvaluation of a latex particle agglutination assay for the detection of cytomegalovirus antibody in patient serum.
The Virogen CMV Antibody Test is a simple and rapid latex agglutination assay for the detection of cytomegalovirus antibody in human serum and plasma. Evaluation of this assay with respect to enzyme immunoassay yielded a sensitivity of 98% with a specificity of 100%. In comparison to CMVScan, the Virogen CMV Antibody Test had a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 100%.
متن کاملComparison of a latex agglutination test with five other methods for determining the presence of antibody against cytomegalovirus.
A latex agglutination test for determination of antibody against cytomegalovirus was compared with five other methods: a solid-phase fluorescent immunoassay, an indirect hemagglutination test, two solid-phase enzyme immunoassays, and an indirect fluorescent-antibody method, with sera collected from 210 random blood donors. Of the sera tested, 28% were positive for anti-cytomegalovirus by concor...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for rubella antibody.
The latex agglutination card test (Rubascan) for the detection of rubella antibody was compared with the standard hemagglutination inhibition and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests. There was complete agreement with sera which had hemagglutination inhibition titers of >/=16. Sera with low levels of antibody which were positive in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, however, gave negativ...
متن کاملagglutination . Detection of rotavirus by latex
I was very interested to read the letter of Dr Waitkins et al on the importance of Streptococcus milleri. We too isolate the organism from cases of empyema from time to time and would agree about the importance of S milleri in this context. Although we welcome this reminder about the pathogenicity of the organism, there is one aspect of the letter that could be misleading: S milleri apparently ...
