Abstract
Specific aggregation of latex particles due to antigen-antibody reaction occurred only when antigen was latex bound, as found in a study using Escherichia coli 0111:B4 extract. Maximum serological sensitivity was achieved when free antigen was present in a narrow range of ratios with the bound antigen.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
