Analysis of the diluents used for rubella virus hemagglutination and hemagglutination-inhibition tests.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new diluent (ADGP) for the rubella virus hemagglutination (HA) and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests is described. It was found that the HA and HI titers and the erythrocyte agglutination pattern were improved in ADGP compared to previously described diluents. The influence of the components of ADGP and of various test conditions on optimal HA and HI results were examined.

Evaluation of a Latex Agglutination Test for Detection of Antibodies to Rubella Virus in Selected Sera
A new latex agglutination test for rubella virus was used to test sera with a hemagglutination inhibition titer of -8 (97 specimens) or >256 (158 specimens). Maximum latex agglutination test sensitivity was achieved when low-titer sera were tested undiluted and high-titer sera were diluted (1:10). A modification of the protocol of the manufacturer resulted in a latex agglutination-hemagglutinat...
متن کاملDetermination of immune status in patients with low antibody titers for rubella virus.
Three assays for detection of rubella antibodies, Rubella G (fluorescence immunoassay [FIA]), Rubacell (passive hemagglutination), and Rubaquick (passive hemagglutination with rotation), were compared with hemagglutination inhibition. A total of 100 serum specimens were selected, 68 of which had an FIA value of less than or equal to 25. On initial testing, among the four tests, there was agreem...
متن کاملPreparation of an Inactivated Egg Drop Syndrome Antigen for Using in Hemagglutination Inhibition Test.
To prepare hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antigen the egg drop syndrome virus (EDSV) was propagated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs. The virus antigen was inactivated with two methods including heating (65°C) and adding 0.5% formaldehyde by considering low destroying effect on hemagglutination (HA) and HI titers. The EDSV HI titers of 310 sera and 100 yolks obtained from 23 chicken farms ...

متن کاملComparison of a simple latex agglutination test with hemolysis-in-gel, hemagglutination inhibition, and radioimmunoassay for detection of rubella virus antibodies.
Rubella virus antibodies were measured in 300 sera from pregnant women visiting a maternity center by using a new, simple latex test, Rubalex. The results were compared with those obtained by using hemolysis in gel, hemagglutination inhibition, and radioimmunoassay. The sensitivity of the latex test was 100, 98.0, and 99.6% when compared with hemolysis in gel, hemagglutination inhibition, and r...
