Microcapsules for immune response
First Claim
1. Microcapsules for effecting an immune response which comprise a wall having an oily substance encapsulated therein as a core and an antigen or antibody bound to a functional group of the wall surface of the microcapsules via a cross linking agent, wherein the average particle size of the microcapsule is in the range of from 0.1 to 30 μ
- m and the microcapsules have a variable specific gravity ranging from about 0.80 to about 1.20.

Abstract
Microcapsules for effecting an immune response, especially through agglutination reaction, comprise an antigen or antibody bound to functional groups, such as amino groups, carboxy groups, etc., on a wall surface of the microcapsules via cross linking agents, such as polyfunctional isocyanates, isothiocyanates, etc. The antigen or antibody is strongly bound to the wall surface of the microcapsules to thereby achieve excellent detection sensitivity.
