Abstract

Two enzyme immunoassays were utilized to identify the source of antigens eluted from natural rubber latex gloves. Both the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a nitrocellulose based dot enzyme immunoassay showed that a rabbit antiserum directed against proteins eluted from gloves was more reactive against B-serum than against C- serum. It was further shown that the dose response relationship of C-serum and rubber particle extract to rabbit anti-glove protein was similar. When rats were immunised with C-serum an indirect ELISA showed that this serum was more reactive with B-serum antigens than with C-serum suggesting that B-serum is likely to be more immunogenic than C-serum.
