Simplified method for the rubella haemagglutination inhibition screening test.

Simplified method for the rubella haemagglutination inhibition screening test.

A modification of the rubella haemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test in which both pretreatment and serum titration are carried out in wells of the same microtitre plate saves time, labour, and materials and gives results comparable to a conventional HAI procedure.

A screen test for rubella haemagglutination inhibition antibodies.

The findings agree closely with those of Hobbs and Aw (1968). The isoamylase patterns of normal plasma and urine are similar, though the activity in urine is greater. Three bands are usually found in normal urine, the slower, and usually more distinct, band being the pancreatic component, and the faster those derived from salivary gland. The activities of these isoenzymes in plasma appear to be...

An economical, simplified haemagglutination test for mass syphilis screening.

A haemagglutination and haemagglutination inhibition test for bluetongue virus.

Haemagglutination of bluetongue virus (BTV) was demonstrated for the first time by making use of a purified preparation of the virus. The reaction was found to be independent of variations in the pH, temperature, buffer system and origin of the erythrocytes used in the test. A haemagglutination inhibition test, subsequently developed, was demonstrated to be serotype specific. The storage of the...

Comparison of passive haemagglutination and haemagglutination-inhibition techniques for detection of antibodies to rubella virus.

Because of the technical problems and length of time involved in the satisfactory performance of the haemagglutination-inhibition test for detection of rubella-specific antibodies, a commercially available passive haemagglutination (PHA) kit utilising rubella antigen-sensitised human erythrocytes was tested for its suitability for use in diagnostic laboratories. The immune response to acute rub...
