Evaluation of a new latex agglutination method for detection of antibody to herpes simplex virus.
A new latex agglutination (LA) test (Wampole Laboratories, Cranbury, N.J.) for detection of antibody to herpes simplex virus was compared with a reference complement fixation (CF) method in a premarket evaluation. Of 102 serum samples tested, 19 were LA negative and CF negative, 79 were LA positive and CF positive, and 4 were LA positive and CF negative. An enzyme immunoassay (M. A. Bioproducts...
متن کاملEvaluation of a latex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to rubella virus in selected sera.
A new latex agglutination test for rubella virus was used to test sera with a hemagglutination inhibition titer of less than or equal to 8 (97 specimens) or greater than or equal to 256 (158 specimens). Maximum latex agglutination test sensitivity was achieved when low-titer sera were tested undiluted and high-titer sera were diluted (1:10). A modification of the protocol of the manufacturer re...
متن کاملA latex agglutination test for lectin binding.
Blood group A + H substance purified from hog gastric mucin was fixed to polystyrene particles by physical absorption to produce a lectin-agglutinable latex. Agglutination of this latex by soybean agglutinin, concanavalin A, and wheat germ agglutinin is specifically inhibited by the respective monosaccharide haptens and is not affected by known noninhibitory sugars. The sensitivity of the assay...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Latex Agglutination Test for Detection of Antibodies to Rubella Virus in Selected Sera
A new latex agglutination test for rubella virus was used to test sera with a hemagglutination inhibition titer of -8 (97 specimens) or >256 (158 specimens). Maximum latex agglutination test sensitivity was achieved when low-titer sera were tested undiluted and high-titer sera were diluted (1:10). A modification of the protocol of the manufacturer resulted in a latex agglutination-hemagglutinat...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Recombigen HIV-1 Latex Agglutination Test.
The Recombigen HIV-1 Latex Agglutination (LA) Test was recently licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use as a rapid screening assay for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) antibodies. However, its performance in various settings and in different populations has not been firmly established. Consequently, we evaluated the test in the Cleveland Clinic Retrovirus Laboratory...
