[Latex reaction with toxoplasma antigen].
The author describes the latex fixation test (LFT) with Toxoplasma antigen. The main parts of this technique are as follows: the sensibilization of latex particles and incubation of the sensitized particles with sera examined in an icebox (overnight) followed by spinning at 5000 G 10 minutes.--The sera giving negative results with LRT reacted also in 78,3% with complement-fixing test (CFT) in 79.3% and with indirect fluorescent test (IFAT) in 61.8% and with microprecipitating test (MPT) in 100% negatively.--The sera reacting strongly positively with LFT reacted also with CFT in high titers (titer 160 and higher) in 60.9% and in 55% with IFAT (titers 128 and higher).
