title: [A carboxylated latex agglutination test for the serological diagnosis of human and animal brucellosis].
abstract: A carboxylated latex agglutination test was developed for detecting antibodies in sera of human and animals with Brucellosis. The latex was chemico-linked with B. melitensis 16M extracted with 5% NaCl. Comparing with physico-sorbent latex antigens in detecting antibodies in sera of human and animals with Brucellosis, the chemico-linked latex is more stable, more specific and more sensitive. In addition, preparation of chemico-linked latex and some factors affecting the result of the test were also described in the paper.
