Comparison of radial haemolysis with haemagglutination inhibition in estimating rubella antibody.

P N Appleton, A.D. Macrae

Open full text 8 citations

Abstract

Radial haemolysis (RH) for assaying rubella antibody was studied in parallel tests with haemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) on 1102 sera from adult women. Simple to perform and economical in reagents, the RH test is as sensitive as the HAI test and is a useful method of screening antenatal and other sera for rubella immunity. It detects IgG but not IgM antibody.
