A simple method for detecting antibodies to rubella. 1975

A Voller, and D E Bidwell

A simple microplate method of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for Rubella antibody is described. This Micro-ELISA was compared with haemagglutination inhibition in a study of 188 human sera. The total discrepancy rate between the two tests was only 3-7%.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007118	Immunoassay	A technique using antibodies for identifying or quantifying a substance. Usually the substance being studied serves as antigen both in antibody production and in measurement of antibody by the test substance.

D006385	Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests	Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
