Latex-Fixation Test in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: possibleNew England Journal of Medicine, 1959
THE serologic reactions of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been reviewed in recent publications.1 2 3 Until 1956 the sensitized erythrocyte was the preferred tool for demonstrating the agglutinationactivating factor, commonly referred to as the rheumatoid factor.

Clinical Observations on the Latex Fixation Test

Postgraduate Medicine, 1962
The latex fixation test gave positive results in 49 per cent of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Two groups, composed of 95 patients with positive responses and 97 patients with negative responses, were studied to determine the relationship between the test results and the degree of dilution, duration of the disease, age of the patient, functional ...

The relationship of the latex fixation test to the clinical and serologic manifestations of leprosy

The American Journal of Medicine, 1961
N UMEROUS studies have emphasized that positive serologic reactions, including those using globulin-coated latex particles, may be obtained in a variety of diseases other than rheumatoid arthritis, such as some of the rheumatic diseases [I-5], sarcoidosis [6], syphilis [7], liver disease [S] and leprosy [9].

Trypanosoma congolense: Latex-fixation test for diagnosis of rabbit infections

Experimental Parasitology, 1972
Abstract Latent Trypanosoma congolense infection of 16 rabbits was diagnosed by a latex fixation test when microscopic examination failed to reveal the parasites. Soluble somatic trypanosome antigens were obtained by hypotonic lysis of trypanosomes in distilled water.

Negative Latex-Fixation Test in Psoriatic Arthritis

open access: closedArchives of Dermatology, 1961
The ability of rheumatoid serum to cause nonspecific agglutination of fine particulate matter was first noted by Cecil in 1930, 1 who studied the effects of rheumatoid sera on certain strains of streptococci. Since that time many tests for rheumatoid arthritis, which are dependent on that phenomenon, have been developed.

A comparison of euglobulin fractions and whole serum in the hemagglutination and latex fixation tests

open access: closedAntonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1964
One hundred and thirty-two sera were investigated with the Waaler-Rose and latex fixation reactions. The reactions were performed with serum, with acid-precipitated euglobulin, and with cold-precipitated euglobulin. The material consisted of 35 sera from healthy persons, 23 from patients with various diseases, 28 from patients with joint symptoms not ...
