agglutination test

Widal agglutination test - 100 years later: still plagued by controversy.

"Latex agglutination test for detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii".

Because the two species are extremely similar in appearance, they are best distinguished through red blood cell agglutination tests or karyotype techniques.

Agglutination tests.

The Weil-Felix test is an agglutination test for the diagnosis of rickettsial infections.

Slide agglutination test using specific antiserum is needed for a confirmative identification of the microorganism (Romalde, 2002).

Another agglutination test mixes the blood being tested with a sheep's red blood cells that have been covered with rabbit antibodies.

Only donors from blood group IV (Type O) were used, eliminating pre-transfusion agglutination tests.

The MAT (microscopic agglutination test), a serological test, is considered the gold standard in diagnosing leptospirosis.

A direct agglutination test (DAT) is any test that uses whole organisms as a means of looking for serum antibodies.

In an agglutination test, a person's serum (which contains antibodies) is added to a test tube, which contains a particular antigen.

The relationship between hydrophobicity, measured by the salt agglutination test, and mannose-resistant adhesion to HEp-2 cells of the isolates is shown in Figure 4.

False-negative cerebrospinal fluid cryptococcal latex agglutination tests for patients with culture-positive cryptococcal meningitis.

Other tests being developed include a latex agglutination test (KAtex), which is currently being tested in Asia and Africa.

The latex particle agglutination test (LAT) is a more sensitive method to detect H. influenzae than culture.

Comparison of an enzyme immunoassay and latex agglutination test for detection of galactomannan in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis.

Specifically, C. fetus can be detected from cervicovaginal mucus using an agglutination test or ELISA.

The heterophil agglutination test is a way to detect two antibodies in the blood that indicate infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

As is true for many other agglutination tests, even technicians with extensive training had difficulty distinguishing reactive test results from the background granularity of the latex particles [26].

Visual interpretation of results is subjective, and published assessments of particle agglutination tests document inter-reader variability ranging from 3% to 10%, especially with weakly positive specimens [23, 57].

Bacterial culture, immunofluorescence, PCR, ELISA or slide agglutination tests (SAT) can be used to make a more definitive diagnosis.

These methods include the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), antigen coated dipsticks, and the direct agglutination test (DAT).

Starkey CA, Yen-Lieberman B, Proffitt MR. Evaluation of the Recombigen HIV-1 latex agglutination test.

Landsteiner's agglutination tests and his discovery of ABO blood groups was the start of the science of blood transfusion and serology which had made transfusion possible and safer.

A latex fixation test (or latex agglutination test) is an agglutination technique used to detect antigens, such as those produced in response to the rubella virus or the rheumatoid factor.
