Abstract
The use of a single-radial-haemolysis technique for the detection of antibody to rubella virus is described. The single-radial-haemolysis test was compared with the standard HI methods for the detection of antibody to rubella virus. A close correlation between the two methods was observed in a survey of over two thousand serum samples and the study indicated that single-radial-haemolysis was highly satisfactory as an assay method for IgG antibodies to rubella virus. It was found that the immuno-globulins active in SRH tests sedimented in the 7S range in sucrose rate gradients and were presumably immunoglobulins of the IgG class, but 19S immunoglobulins did not produce haemolysis.Entities:
