It has been suggested that single radial haemolysis (SRH) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) would offer considerable advantages (Voller and Bidwell, 1975;Russell et al., 1978).In this study we have evaluated the ability of the three techniques to determine immunity to rubella in 1000 consecutive antenatal patients.
Material and methods
SERAOne thousand consecutive sera submitted for rubella screening from antenatal patients in south-east London were evaluated. Sera were stored at -20'C before testing.
SRH TECHNIQUEThe SRH plates were provided by Wellcome
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
