Mycobacterial Agglutination-Inhibition Test

Mycobacterial agglutination-inhibition test.

The mycobacterial agglutination-inhibition test (MAIT) is described as a modification of the mycobacterial agglutination of Schaefer (MATS). It is an organized assemblage of absorption and agglutination tests which is especially useful in the identification of Mycobacterium avium isolates normally excluded from serological identification because of unstable cell suspension characteristics. The ...

Rapid latex agglutination inhibition reaction test for morphine in urine

A simple and rapid immunoassay of morphine based on latex agglutination inhibition reaction has been developed. Morphine-6-succinate is a morphine derivative, and its bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates were synthesized and characterized. The hapten density in the conjugate was determined spectroscopically to be 8.2 mol per mol of BSA. It was found that morphine-6-succinyl-BSA (M-6-S-BSA) exh...

Simple determination of the L.E. factor. Loose body test and nucleus agglutination inhibition test.

(2) The L.E. Cell Test.-In about 80 per cent. of the proved cases the Hargraves test is positive. A theoretical objection to this test is that it employs phagocytosis which is a secondary reaction in vitro as indicator. The fixation of the specific L.E. gamma globulin to nuclei, which constitutes the first phase of the L.E. cell formation and results in loose body formation (Aisenberg, 1959; Ri...

Detection of rotavirus by Latex Agglutination Test (Rotales); Comparison with Electron Microscopy and Complement Fixation Test

Latex agglutination inhibition card test for gentamicin assay: clinical evaluation and comparison with radioimmunoassay and bioassay.

Gentamicin levels were determined in 100 serum specimens by a new latex agglutination inhibition card test, a radioimmunoassay (RIA), and a bioassay. Correlation coefficients determined by linear regression analysis demonstrated that the levels obtained by the latex agglutination inhibition card test had a high degree of correlation with the RIA and could be performed much faster and more econo...
