Rapid Plasma Reagent (RPR-CARBON)
The RPR-carbon is a non-treponemal slide agglutination test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of plasma reagins in human serum. Carbon particles coated with a lipid complex are agglutinated when mixed with samples containing reagins of patients affected by Syphilis.
Reagins are a group of antibodies against some components of the damaged tissues from patients infected by Treponema pallidum, the agent which causes the syphilis. This microorganism produces some damage to the liver and heart, releasing some tissue fragments. The immunological patient system reacts by producing reagents, and antibodies against these fragments.
