Latex (C0023115)

Definition (MSH) A milky, product excreted from the latex canals of a variety of plant species that contain cauotchouc. Latex is composed of 25-35% caoutchouc, 60-75% water, 2% protein, 2% resin, 1.5% sugar & 1% ash. RUBBER is made by the removal of water from latex.(From Concise Encyclopedia Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed). Hevein proteins are responsible for LATEX HYPERSENSITIVITY. Latexes are used as inert vehicles to carry antibodies or antigens in LATEX FIXATION TESTS.

Rubber (C0035918)

Definition (NCI_FDA) Any material made from or containing natural latex in its native liquid or colloidal state. Natural latex is an extract of the rubber tree (H. brasiliensis) and contains the allergens responsible for latex hyper-sensitivity reactions. Products that may contain NRL are medical gloves and condoms. See 21 CFR 801.437 for full regulatory definition.(CDRH-GUDID)
Definition (NCI) The natural extract of tropical rubber plants.
Definition (CSP) family of natural and synthetic polymers with unique properties of deformability and elasticity in their hardened states.
Definition (MSH) A high-molecular-weight polymeric elastomer derived from the milk juice (LATEX) of HEVEA brasiliensis and other trees and plants. It is a substance that can be stretched at room temperature to at least twice its original length and after releasing the stress, retract rapidly, and recover its original dimensions fully.
