Comparison of novel synthetic peptide-based DETECT-RUBELLA enzyme immunoassays with Enzygnost and IMx for detection of rubella-specific immunoglobulin G
Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) using synthetic peptides SP-E1 and SP-E1E2 (DETECT-RUBELLA [Bio-Chem]) were compared with two viral lysate-based EIAs (Enzygnost [Behring] and IMx [Abbott]) for the detection of rubella virus-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies. Sensitivities of 94.7, 100, 98.6, and 100% and specificities of 100, 97.4, 100, and 73.7% were found for the SP-E1, SP-E1E2, Enzygnost, and IMx EIAs, respectively.
