Stabilized extraction composition containing a sulfhydryl-containing reducing agent and its use in chlamydial and gonococcal determination.

摘要

A composition including a sulfhydryl-containing reducing agent is stabilized for long term storage with a hydrophilic polymer. This composition can be combined with one or more reagents useful for extracting antigens from chlamydial or gonococcal organisms. The extracted antigen can be determined using immunological reactions and appropriate labeled reactants.
