Simple, rapid latex agglutination test for serotyping of pneumococci (Pneumotest-Latex).
The "gold standard" for epidemiological typing of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the capsular reaction test (Neufeld test) with antisera against the 90 pneumococcal polysaccharide capsules, i.e., serotyping. The method is labor intensive and requires a certain level of experience to be performed satisfactory, and thus it has been restricted for use in specialized reference or resear...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for extraluminal amoebiasis.
AIMS To develop a rapid latex agglutination screening test for invasive amoebiasis. METHODS The performance of an in-house latex agglutination test was compared with three standard serological techniques--the immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT), the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA), and the cellulose acetate precipitin (CAP) test. Forty six sera were screened; 12 from negative control...
متن کاملRapid latex agglutination test for rubella antibody.
The latex agglutination card test (Rubascan) for the detection of rubella antibody was compared with the standard hemagglutination inhibition and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests. There was complete agreement with sera which had hemagglutination inhibition titers of >/=16. Sera with low levels of antibody which were positive in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, however, gave negativ...
متن کاملSimple latex agglutination assay for rapid serodiagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A newly developed latex agglutination assay for the detection of genus-specific Leptospira antibodies in human sera was evaluated. The assay is performed by mixing, on an agglutination card, serum with equal volumes of stabilized antigen-coated, dyed test and control latex beads and is read within 2 min. The latex agglutination test was evaluated with groups of serum samples from patients with ...
متن کاملRapid 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...
