Laser nephelometry quantitation of fibrinogen-related antigens. 1981

A laser nephelometric procedure to quantitate fibrinogen related antigens (FRA), that joined the best characteristics of the immunological available techniques, is proposed. It is sensitive, rapid, simple, reproducible, antiserum saving and accurate since it correlates very well with the tanned red cell hemagglutination inhibition immunoassay (TRCHII) at the most commonly found clinical levels (r = 0.98, p less than 0.0005), but with the advantage of a more objective quantitation and thus, reliable for any concentration of FRA. Prepared samples of different known levels of fibrinogen, assayed with the laser method and the TRCHII, showed a higher correlation with the laser procedure (r = 0.97, p less than 0.0005) than the obtained with the TRCHII (r = 0.85, p less than 0.001). The technic is useful in emergency situations, routine work and research.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D009391 Nephelometry and Turbidimetry Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium, is attenuated in intensity by scattering. In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured. In nephelometry, the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at right angles to the incident light beam. Turbidimetry,Nephelometry,Turbidimetry and Nephelometry

It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
