| LIA | Latex Immunoassay Agglutination | (LIA)-When a monochromatic beam of light is passed through a suspension of microlates particles which have specific antibodies attached, the light is only slightly absorbed. If the specific antigen is added, the latex particles agglutinate causing the amount of light absorbed to increase. This increase in light absorption is proportional to the amount of antigen present. |
