Immunofluorescence test for IgM rubella antibodies in whole serum after absorption with anti-gammaFc.
Year: 1975
Type: article
Abstract: A technique for detecting IgM rubella antibodies by immunofluorescence was developed. Total serum IgG was removed by prior immunoabsorption with anti-gammaFc. This prevents interference by rheumatoid factors in the serum. The test appeared sensitive and specific in sera of rubella convalescents and infants with congenital rubella.
