Differential sheep cell agglutination test in rheumatoid arthritis.
In March, 1948, Rose and others described a test for rheumatoid arthritis which depended on the ability of serum from patients with rheumatoid arthritis to agglutinate " sensitized " sheep erythrocytes in much higher titre than normal sheep erythrocytes. The authors reported results in 110 patients, of whom 27 had active rheumatoid arthritis and 16 inactive rheumatoid arthritis, 3 Still's disea...
متن کاملDifferential agglutination test in rheumatoid arthritis complicated by pneumoconiosis.
During a survey of rheumatoid arthritis in a South Wales mining valley (Miall and others, 1953; Miall, 1955), the differential agglutination test (D.A.T.) was adopted as one of the diagnostic criteria of this syndrome. One of the principal objects of the survey was the further investigation of the observation of Caplan (1953) of an association between an unusual form of progressive massive pulm...
متن کاملComparative Measurement of Rheumatoid Factor in Serum and Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients by ELISA and Latex-Agglutination Test
Rheumatoid factors (RF) are autoantibodies with specificity for the Fc portion of human IgG. Production of RF is a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is detectable in high titer in about 90% of these patients. In this study, we measured total IgM, IgA, IgMRF and IgARF in serum and synovial fluid of 45 RA patients by ELISA and the results were compared with those obtained b...
متن کاملEpidemiology of the sheep cell agglutination test.
Recent research into the nature and significance of rheumatoid serum factors has been largely immunological and biochemical. The epidemiology of these components is virtually unknown. During recent years we have had the opportunity of studying several population samples, and data from these surveys have now been gathered and are presented with particular reference to the epidemiology of the ser...
متن کاملDifferential Agglutination Titre (D.A.T.) in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The technique employed from 1949-1956, which has been described by one of us (Scott, 1952), was a slight modification of the method originally proposed by Rose, Ragan, Pearce, and Lipman (1948). Since 1956, a further modification has been employed, as suggested by Greenbury (1957), using Perspex trays (M.R.C. pattern) in place of tubes and racks. This method will be described in detail elsewher...
