ASO

The Fortress Diagnostics ASO-Latex agglutination is the rapid and simple test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative measurements of antibodies to Anti-Streptolysin-O (ASO) in human serum.

When the latex reagent is mixed with a serum containing ASO agglutination occurs. In acute streptococcal infection the toxic immunogenic exoenzyme Streptolysin-O (ASO) is produced in response to Streptolsin O antigens liberated by haemolytic streptococci of groups A, C and G.
