A COMPARISON OF THE HÆMAGGLUTINATION-INHIBITION TEST AND THE NEUTRALISATION TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF RUBELLA ANTIBODY

Two serological tests, neutralisation and hæmagglutination inhibition, were used to demonstrate rubella antibodies in human sera. Results with the two tests correlated extremely well. It was concluded that the hæmagglutination-inhibition procedure was a useful preliminary test in the diagnosis of ru...

Zusammenfassung:Two serological tests, neutralisation and hæmagglutination inhibition, were used to demonstrate rubella antibodies in human sera. Results with the two tests correlated extremely well. It was concluded that the hæmagglutination-inhibition procedure was a useful preliminary test in the diagnosis of rubella and in survey work.
