Abstract
Abstract This invention discloses sensitized cells for use in passive agglutination. Such cells are prepared by using as a carrier micro-organisms which have been subjected to the cell wall fixation thereof with formaldehyde and then the intracellular fixation thereof at a temperature above 90*C for at least 5 minutes and adsorbing an antigen or an antibody on the carrier.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A METHOD OF PREPARING A SENSITIZED CELL FOR USE IN PASSIVE AGGLUTINATION COMPRISING SUBJECTING A MICROOGRANSIUM TO CELL WALL FIXATION BY TREATMENT WITH FORMALDEHYDE AT A CONCENTRATION OF FROM 0.2 TO 20% AT A TEMPERATURE RANGING BETWEEN 0* AND 37*C FOR A PERIOD OF TIME VARYING UP TO ABOUT 12 HOURS FOLLOWED BY HEATING THE FORMALDEHYDE TREATED ORGANISM AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE VARYING BETWEEN 90* AND 135*C FOR A A PERIOD OF TIME RANGING FROM 5 MINUTES TO 5 HOURS, TREATING THE CELL WITH TANNIC ACID AND ADSORBING ON THE SURFACE OF SAID TANNIC ACID-TREATED MICROORGANISM, AN ANTIGEN OR ANTIBODY.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
100 words
A METHOD OF PREPARING A SENSITIZED CELL FOR USE IN PASSIVE AGGLUTINATION COMPRISING SUBJECTING A MICROOGRANSIUM TO CELL WALL FIXATION BY TREATMENT WITH FORMALDEHYDE AT A CONCENTRATION OF FROM 0.2 TO 20% AT A TEMPERATURE RANGING BETWEEN 0* AND 37*C FOR A PERIOD OF TIME VARYING UP TO ABOUT 12 HOURS FOLLOWED BY HEATING THE FORMALDEHYDE TREATED ORGANISM AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE VARYING BETWEEN 90* AND 135*C FOR A A PERIOD OF TIME RANGING FROM 5 MINUTES TO 5 HOURS, TREATING THE CELL WITH TANNIC ACID AND ADSORBING ON THE SURFACE OF SAID TANNIC ACID-TREATED MICROORGANISM, AN ANTIGEN OR ANTIBODY.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
