Evaluation of commercial rubella immunoglobulin G avidity assays.
We compared the performances of five commercial rubella virus immunoglobulin G (IgG) avidity assays. The Adaltis (kappa = 0.28) and Diesse (kappa = 0.33) assays showed poor correlation, the Behring assay (kappa = 0.68) showed good correlation, and the Euroimmun (kappa = 0.95) and Radim (kappa = 0.94) assays showed excellent correlation with a well-established in-house rubella virus IgG avidity ...
متن کاملReliability of low-avidity IgG and of IgA in the diagnosis of primary infection by rubella virus with adaptation of a commercial test.
The detection of IgA and low-avidity IgG and antibodies in serum is a potentially useful marker of recent infection by a microorganism. We studied the reliability of IgG avidity and presence of IgA for the diagnosis of recent acute infection by rubella virus. Low-avidity IgG (Avy-EIA test) was determined with a modified commercial test using 8 molar urea (indirect ELISA, DiaSorin, Italy) and Ig...

متن کاملAvidity of IgG for rubella: an evaluation of the need for implementation at the Materno-Infantil Presidente Vargas Hospital in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Rubella serum assays performed in the laboratory of the Materno-Infantil Presidente Vargas Hospital (HMIPV) from 1998 to 2002 were reviewed to determine if IgG avidity assays should be implemented. IgG was determined using the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay, ELFA, VIDAS system, bioMerieux or the Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay, MEIA, Axsym system, Abbott, and IgM was determined using the ELFA...
متن کاملThe Value of Cmv and Rubella Igg Avidity Tests in the Diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus (cmv) and Rubella Infections in Pregnant Women
IgG avidity tests, which came on the scene recently with regard to most efficient use of time and early onset to the therapy, are considered in this study, and compared with Enzyme immunoassay(EIA). Serums of a total of 879 women in the first trimester of their gestations who referred to Dicle University, Faculty Hospital, Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in between the dates of 09 Apri...
