The application of the latex test for the detection of Australia antigen (Au-Ag) was investigated. Reagents from two commercial sources were compared with the electrophoresis method with regard to sensitivity and specificity using samples from blood donors, hospital patients, and plasma fractions. Discordant results were further investigated by electron microscopy and radioimmunoassay. Differences were noted in the results between these reagents and the significance of the findings together with suggestions for minimizing false positive results are discussed.
对乳胶试验用于检测澳大利亚抗原(澳抗)的应用进行了研究。使用来自献血者、住院患者和血浆成分的样本,将两种商业来源的试剂在灵敏度和特异性方面与电泳法进行了比较。通过电子显微镜和放射免疫测定法对不一致的结果进行了进一步研究。注意到这些试剂之间结果的差异,并讨论了研究结果的意义以及尽量减少假阳性结果的建议。
