 AB    The practical aspects of the theory of the adsorption of bioligands on
       the plastic surface have been considered and discussed. The possibility
       of standardizing polystyrene plates, as well as obtaining plates with
       the predetermined level of adsorption activity with respect to given
       antigens (antibodies), has been shown with the use of the patented
       technology for the modification of polystyrene plates. The data on the
       adsorption of antigens used as an experimental model (human and rabbit
       immunoglobulin fractions) are presented, and an increase in adsorption
       activity has been shown with the use of modified plates. For practical
       confirmation, some examples of using these plates in actual assay
       systems intended for the evaluation of HBsAg carriership and antibodies
       to HIV are given. A considerable increase (2- to 10-fold) of the signal
       from positive samples has been shown to occur, the signal from negative
       samples remaining practically unchanged.
