Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Streptex™ Latex-Gruppe G

Beschreibung

RemelStreptex und Latex Gruppe G ist ein schneller Latex-Agglutinationstest, der für Lancefield Gruppe G verwendet wird.

Streptococci can be generally classified as alpha, beta, or gamma based on their hemolytic reactions indicated by appearance of zones around colonies growing on Blood Agar. Beta-hemolytic streptococci are further characterized by Lancefield groups.

Most Streptococci possess group-specific antigens which are usually carbohydrate structural components of the cell wall. Lancefield showed that these antigens can be extracted in soluble form and identified by precipitation reactions with homologous antisera¹. Polystyrene latex particles coated with group-specific antibodies agglutinate strongly in the presence of homologous antigen and remain in smooth suspension in the absence of homologous antigen.
