Latex agglutination test for measurement of antibodies to meningococcal polysaccharides.
A latex agglutination test employing serogroup-specific meningococcal polysaccharides as the antigen has been developed. The test has been used to measure serological responses in patients with meningococcal disease, in meningococcal carriers, and in volunteers who received meningococcal vaccines. It has been shown to be a sensitive and highly specific test for the detection of group-specific m...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii.
A resurgence of interest in Toxoplasma gondii has occurred because this coccidian parasite causes lethal infections in immunologically compromised hosts and is responsible for at least 3,000 congenitally infected infants in the United States annually. Thus, rapid, specific, and inexpensive serologic tests are required for routine screening of patients, especially pregnant women. We have develop...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test for detecting antibodies to Treponema pallidum.
We have developed an automated latex agglutination test for Treponema pallidum (TPLA) for measurement of the concentration of treponemal antibodies in syphilitic sera. The assay needs neither a complicated pretreatment of the sera nor special techniques. Intra- and interassay precision studies showed high reproducibility. Potentially interfering substances, such as bilirubin, hemoglobin, trigly...
متن کاملLatex agglutination tests for measurement of antiplague antibodies.
A latex agglutination test was evaluated as a method for detection and titration of antiplague antibodies. Slide and microtiter techniques using polystyrene latex particles coated with specific fraction-I-antigen of Yersinia pestis were found to be comparable in specificity and sensitivity to serological tests commonly used in laboratory practice. The latex agglutination titers correlated well ...
متن کاملMeasurement of antibodies to varicella-zoster virus by using a latex agglutination test.
We evaluated a rapid, simple-to-perform assay for detecting antibodies to varicella-zoster virus by latex agglutination (LA); dilutions of test sera were added to latex particles coated with varicella-zoster virus antigen. We tested 878 serum specimens by LA and with fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen; of these, 227 were also tested by a commercially marketed enzyme-linked immunosorbent a...
