Notes:
Hydrophilic polymeric microspheres were prepared by y-radiation initiated copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, methylenebisacrylamide and methacrylic acid in aqueous solution with possible addition of special monomers bearing fluorescent or other specific ligand groups. The microspheres were used in detection of different subtypes of immunoglobulin Fc-receptors and complement components receptors as well as in the studies of the process of receptor-mediated phagocytosis. A simple assay for testing the phagocytic activity of peripheral blood leukocytes is proposed for clinical applications.
