[Polystyrene latexes in agglutination tests: preparation and sensibilization].
A method for preparing polystyrene latexes for slide agglutination test is described. The latexes were used for preparing latex slide tests for evaluating C-reactive protein and myoglobin. Effects of such factors as pH, temperature, antibody concentration, and latex particles concentration, on sensitization and agglutination have been studied. The proposed approaches allow detection of the antigen in a concentration of less than 200 micrograms/liter for myoglobin and less than 8 mg/liter for C-reactive protein.
