テラサキプレート (U底) によるウイルス検査凝集法微量化測定の検討

抄録

A micro-aggregating method using a U-bottom Terasaki Plate was evaluated with blood from 252 patients during the 12-month period from January to December, 1989.
Specimens could be to read with consistency at patient's serum volume and reagent volume of 8-10μl. Correlation of the Terasaki Plate method and the Micro Plate method were shown to be 99% for the PA test (HTLV-I antibody), and 100% for the RPHA (HBs antigen) and PHA tests (HBc antibody).
Antibody titer determination revealed a correlation rate of 82%, without diurnal variation. Determination was possible at a reaction time of 90 minutes; moreover, reagent costs could be reduced to one third.
This method was deemed to be useful for saving serum samples, and was shown to offer reductions in cost and reaction time.
