A latex slide agglutination test for rapid detection of antimyeloperoxidase antibody.
AIM To develop and test a new latex slide agglutination test (MPO-LSAT) to detect antimyeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibody in serum. METHODS Latex bead coating was adjusted to give maximum sensitivity by attending to latex size, MPO to latex ratio for coupling, ratio of diluted serum to MPO-latex, reaction time and temperature for coupling, and reaction time for agglutination. Inhibition studi...
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 کاملRapid slide latex agglutination test for detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
The MRSA screen test (Denka Seiken Co., Ltd.), a commercially available, rapid (20-min) slide latex agglutination test for the determination of methicillin resistance by detection of PBP 2a in Staphylococcus aureus, was compared with the oxacillin agar screen test and PCR detection of the mecA gene. A total of 563 S. aureus isolates were tested. Two hundred ninety-six of the isolates were methi...
متن کاملDetection of penicillin-binding protein 2a by rapid slide latex agglutination test in coagulase-negative staphylococci.
In a recent article, Hussain et al. evaluated a commercial latex agglutination test (LA), the MRSA-Screen (Denka Seiken Co., Niigata, Japan), for rapid detection of penicillinbinding protein 2a (PBP2a) in mecA-positive and mecA-negative coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) (2). The sensitivity and specificity were 100 and 99.5% (2), respectively, although the MRSA-Screen was initially develop...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for extraluminal amoebiasis.
AIMS To develop a rapid latex agglutination screening test for invasive amoebiasis. METHODS The performance of an in-house latex agglutination test was compared with three standard serological techniques--the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT), the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), and the cellulose acetate precipitin (CAP) test. Forty six sera were screened; 12 from negative control...
