EXPRESS METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING TUBERCULOSIS USING LATEX AGGLUTINATION REACTION

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves thermostatting non-activated blood serum with polystyrene latex or with polystyrene latex having functional groups. The mentioned latexes sensibilized with acetone-dried bacteria antigen are used. The bacteria are prepared by applying disk-electrophoresis in polyacryl amide gel or gel chromatography on sefacryl. Intracellular cytoplasmic protein fraction of M. tuberculosis or M. africanum are usable as the antigen. EFFECT: simplified method; reliable data. 3 tbl
