The ASLO latex test is a rapid agglutination test on the blade for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of anti-streptolysin O in human serum samples. Group A hemolytic streptococcus, Group C hemolytic streptococcus or group G hemolytic streptococcus produces streptolysin, a haemolytic exotoxin to which the human body releases anti-streptolysin antibodies.
This detection method uses a suspension of streptolysin-coated latex particles (antigen) that will come into contact with the serum of the patient suspected of being infected (anti-streptolysin O antibodies). If the antibodies are present in the sample, the agglutination reaction occurs and the test is considered positive.
After 1-2 weeks of infection with Streptococcus, the anti-streptolysin antibody level can be detected, the maximum level reaching after 3-6 weeks.
