METHOD FOR DETECTING CIRCULATING IMMUNE COMPLEXES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/52 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: differentiated detection large and small circulating immune complexes in blood serum is ensured by a follow-on examination of blood serum clarified by short centrifugation with a method of circulating immune complexes precipitation PEG -6000 of the end concentration 4 % and 6 %. Thereafter, the results are recorded by a turbidimetric method with using a microplate spectrophotometer in a two-wave mode: basic - 340 nm, reference filter - 620 nm. Duration of an incubation step at temperature +18-25°C is 15 minutes. Using the method enables higher effectiveness and reliability of determining the level of large circulating immune complexes, results reproducibility, as well as differential measurement of the level of small CIC which are a diagnostically significant indicator of human body immune responsiveness in many types of a pathology, decreased volume of analysed serums to 0.06 ml, and incubation duration to 15 minutes.

EFFECT: method is suitable for clinical screenings.
