Agar-Disc Neutralization Test for Rubella Virus

Sensitive neutralization test for rubella antibody.

A modified rubella virus plaque neutralization test for measuring rubella antibody was developed based on the potentiation of the virus-antibody complex by heterologous anti-immunoglobulin. The test is highly sensitive, yielding titers on the average 50 to 100 times higher than the haemagglutination inhibition test or the conventional plaque neutralization test. The sensitivity of this enhanced...

Development of qRT-PCR Test for Quantification of Rubella Virus in Commercially Available Vaccines

vaccines is considered as a critical point and in-process of quality control (IPQC) test of vaccine production. Rapid tests, like real time PCR, are more appropriated when the production occurs at industrial scale because of the amounts of starting materials and the excess of consumed time required. In the current study, a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...

Comparison of the latex agglutination test with the hemagglutination inhibition test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and neutralization test for detection of antibodies to rubella virus.

The ability of a rapid, latex agglutination test to diagnose rubella infection and to measure immune status was evaluated by comparison with the hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the neutralization (NT) test. The latex agglutination test accurately detected serological conversions in 74 pairs of sera representing 21 natural infections and 53 ...

Comparison of Micro Neutralization Test with Hemadsorption-Inhibition Test, and Immunoflrorescence Technique for Detecting Mumps Antibodies

Rubella virus.

The paper deals with a review article of nervous system disorders caused by rubella virus (RV) infection. The diseases are categorized as acute and chronic, the former consists of acute encephalitis and peripheral neuropathy, and the latter congenital rubella syndrome and progressive rubella panencephalitis. Acute rubella encephalitis occurs one case per 6,000 rubella patients either at viremia...
