Quality Control of the Latex-fixation Test

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1979
Standardization of the latex-fixation test for the detection of rheumatoid factor may be achieved by the preparation of a standard reference serum. A number of guidelines for the quality control of precision and sensitivity of the test are suggested.

Latex Slide Fixation Test in Dermatology

Archives of Dermatology, 1960
Because of the continued interest and concern of the dermatologist in lupus erythematosus, he must be aware also of the developments in rheumatology. Frequently arthritis may precede the onset of the cutaneous phase of lupus erythematosus, and it is of interest to determine whether this is rheumatoid arthritis or that of lupus erythematosus.

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 ...

Studies on the Latex-Fixation Test.

Acta Rheumatologica Scandinavica, 1958
SummaryThe latex-fixation titer was determined in whole serum and in the euglobulin fraction of serum from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from control subjects. In the patients with rheumatoid arthritis and joint symptoms for about one year or less the latex-fixation titer was more often found to be positive in the euglobulin fraction than in ...

SLIDE LATEX FIXATION TEST

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1958
The use of uniform size polystyrene latex particles as substitutes for red blood cells in the serologic test for rheumatoid arthritis has been reported on previously. 1 These biologically inert particles might agglutinate spontaneously without added gamma globulin in the presence of strongly positive rheumatoid serum, but only in a low titer.

A simple, rapid micro-latex fixation test.

Clinical and experimental immunology, 1980
A micro-latex fixation test (LFT) for the determination of rheumatoid factor (RF) is presented. Its advantages compared to similar tests are greater precision, simplicity, increased sensitivity, lower cost, reproducibility and adaptibility to large-scale testing. Micro-LFT titres are presented from a wide range of sample populations.
