    PRINCIPLE

    The RF Direct Latex reagent is a suspension of polystyrene particles sensitized with human gamma-globulin. When the reagent is faced against the rheumatoid factors of serum, an antigen-antibody reaction takes place being easily visualized because of the latex agglutination.

    DIAGNOSTIC USE

    In most patients suffering from evolutive chronic polyarthritis, the presences of macroglobulins (rheumatoid factors), which are able to agglutinate inert particles sensitized with human gamma-globulin, are detected. The test of the latex agglutination allows distinguishing between this disease and the other one known as articular rheumatism or rheumatic fever, in which rheumatoid factors are not present.

    Single test result could not be used to make a clinical diagnosis. It should integrate clinical and laboratory data.
