Use of a new buffer system with formalinized sheep erythrocytes in the rubella hemagglutination-inhibition test.
The increased sensitivity and improved agglutination and settling patterns of formalinized sheep erythrocytes in a new buffer, HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine N'-2'-ethanesulfonic acid), make this system more suitable for use in the rubella hemagglutination-inhibition test.
متن کاملModified hemagglutination-inhibition test for rubella employing human group O erythrocytes.
A hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test for rubella is described which utilizes human group O, rather than 1-day-old chick, erythrocytes. The test was found to be as sensitive and reproducible for detection of rubella antibody as HI tests employing chick erythrocytes. Advantages to the use of human erythrocytes are (i) they are more available, (ii) it is unnecessary to absorb natural agglutinin...
متن کاملAn improved diluent for rubella hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition tests.
Rubella hemagglutinating (HA) antigen was prepared in BHK-21 tissue as 5% cell suspensions and from unconcentrated and 20x concentrated infected supernatant fluids. In some instances, unconcentrated fluids were treated with Tween 80 and ether; cell suspensions were treated with ether alone. Preparations were tested for HA activity in dextrose-gelatin-Veronal (DGV) buffer solutions; 0.85% NaCl; ...
متن کاملCryopreserved erythrocytes in clinical laboratory hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests.
Various concentrations of pig, guinea pig, chicken, and turkey erythrocytes (RBCs) were cryopreserved and compared with fresh RBCs in hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests. Hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition titers obtained with cryopreserved or fresh RBCs from the same donor differed by not more than one twofold dilution. RBCs cryopreserved at a concentration of ...
متن کاملNonspecific reactions in the hemagglutination inhibition test for detection of rubella antibodies.
Approximately 7% of the sera tested to determine the presence of rubella-specific antibodies by the hemagglutination inhibition test demonstrated abnormal patterns of reactivity, rendering the test unreadable. Another 3% of sera were shown to have false-positive titers as high as 1:128. When these abnormally reacting and false-positive sera were heated at 56 degrees C for 30 min after chemical ...
