Abstract: The present invention provides a novel cellular fixative composition and method of cellular fixing and cellular analysis wherein cells may be fixed for further analysis without destroying the cell's surface markers, cellular morphology, and the cell's light scattering properties. Treatment of cells with the fixative as described herein also allows antibodies or .other desired components to enter the cell through the cellular membrane, without allowing important contents of the cell to escape. As an added benefit, the fixative composition of the invention may also kill or at least inactivate or reduce the activity of deadly virus contained in the cell. In its broadest aspect, the presently claimed fixative composition comprises at least three components, and in more preferred embodiments, four components.

Abstract: A method and test kit useful in a wide variety of immunoassay systems. A method of producing metal sol reagents containing metal sol particles of a preselected size is provided. A metal containing solution is reduced under optimized pH conditions to produce metal sol particles of a preselected size, the particles are coated with a coupling compound and then bound with at least one selected immunochemically reactive component. Particles having different immunochemical specificities are also mixed to produce reagents having multiple selected immunochemical specificities.
