Comparative 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 کاملA Comparison of the Sheep Cell and Latex Agglutination Tests in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis contains a factor which causes agglutination of sensitized particulate bodies. This phenomenon has been demonstrated using sheep red cells (Waaler, 1940), collodion particles (Wallis, 1946), bacteria (Wager, 1950), polysterene latex particles (Singer and Plotz, 1956), and bentonite (Bozicevich, Bunim, Freund, and Ward, 1958). Rose, Ragan, Pearce, ...

متن کاملAutomated enhanced latex agglutination assay for rheumatoid factors in serum.
This improved assay of rheumatoid factors in serum, described here for use with the Baker "Encore" centrifugal analyzer, is efficient, with 250-sample throughput per hour; reproducible, with between-batch CV = 5% and within-batch CV = 2% (mid-assay range); and results correlate well (r = 0.9) with those by other methods. The method is fully quantitative and automated, involves no predilution st...
متن کاملRe-evaluation of ELISA and latex agglutination test for rheumatoid factor detection in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
An indirect ELISA for the determination of each isotype (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE) of rheumatoid factors (RF) was performed with sera obtained from 77 patients with either classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 319 controls, using rabbit IgG as the antigen. The results were compared with those of a commercial latex agglutination test, using denatured human gamma globulin as the anti...
