Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The presence of antibodies (Ab) and antigens (Ag) in a liquid is detected by mixing the liquid with two different particulate reagents which mutually agglutinate but whose agglutination is inhibited by the particular Ab or Ag under assay. By detecting the extent of agglutination, the presence or absence of the Ab or Ag can be confirmed. By measuring the extent of agglutination or non-agglutination quantitatively, an amount of Ab or Ag can be determined. The particulate reagents preferably comprise latex.
