Abstract
Microspheres of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) and its derivatives have been prepared. The diameter can be varied in the range from 0.5 to 5 micron. Proteins were immobilized on the microspheres by various processes. The maximum amount of covalently immobilized gamma-globulin on the microspheres was found to be about 6 mg/m2. It was shown that dyed microspheres with a diameter of 2-4 micron are applicable to immunological agglutination tests on a microplate as carrier particles substituting for red blood cells.
