Effect of Temperature of the Sensitization Process on the Passive Hemagglutination Test for Hepatitis B Antibody |
|
| Authors: | Royle A. Hawkes |
| Abstract: | The temperature at which the coupling of antigen to erythrocytes takes place is an important factor in the passive hemagglutination test for hepatitis B antibody. Erythrocytes sensitized at 16 C are much less sensitive for the detection of antibody than are those sensitized at 22 to 41 C. |
