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.

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.

A Trial of the Latex Fixation Test for Rheumatoid Arthritis

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1958
Since the introduction of the differential sheep cell agglutination test by Rose and his associates in 1948, there has been increasing interest in serologic reactions in rheumatoid arthritis. The latex fixation test described by Singer and Plotz' has been applied by Thomas and his associates and modified by Rheins and his associates.

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.
