  • Title: Limulus lysate assay for gonorrhea.
    Author: Spagna VA, Prior RB.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1983 Mar; 27(3):227-31. PubMed ID: 6829395.
    Abstract:
    The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is currently being studied for use in diagnosing gonococcal urethritis/cervicitis syndromes and as a screening test for gonococcal cervicitis. Experience shows that the test can be adapted to office use by private physicians, providing rapid, accurate results in situations where laboratory facilities are unavailable. Further modifications are improving the speed and interpretation of results.
