A method for assaying of Chlamydia includes adhering Chlamydia antigen to amidine modified latex particles, binding of adhered antigen to an anti-Chlamydia antibody conjugated to an enzyme, separating the particles from the liquid phase of the assay and detecting bound enzyme by color development when the separated particles are contacted with a substrate for the enzyme. The invention includes a kit of materials for preforming an assay in accordance with the method of the invention.
