Abstract
An extraction composition is useful for lysing chlamydial, gonococcal or herpes organisms and extracting detectable antigen from the organisms. In particular, this composition has a high pH (at least about 8) and comprises an alcoholamine which is effective in extracting antigen. It is particularly useful for extracting either or both of the lipopolysaccharide and major outer membrane protein chlamydial antigens.
