Simple procedure for the removal of nonspecific inhibitors of rubella virus hemagglutination.

چکیده
The adsorption of serum lipoproteins onto an insoluble matrix of colloidal silicic acid results in the removal of nonspecific inhibitors of rubella virus hemagglutinin. The procedure can be performed in 15 min at room temperature. Comparative studies using both the dextran sulfate-CaCl2 and heparin-MnCl2 methods for removal of inhibitors demonstrated that the colloidal silicic acid procedure yielded identical hemagglutination inhibition titers. In addition, it is technically feasible to read titers below 1:8.

Rubella hemagglutination inhibition: removal of nonspecific agglutination due to manganous chloride.
Nonspecific inhibitors of rubella hemagglutination can be removed by treatment of sera with heparin-manganous chloride for use in the hemagglutination-inhibition test. After removal of nonspecific inhibitors by this procedure, an excess of manganous chloride may remain. This may cause the cells to agglutinate, thus obscuring the reading at low serum dilutions. This disadvantage can be overcome ...
متن کاملMethod for extracting viral hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies from the nonspecific inhibitors of serum.
Various methods are used to remove nonspecific inhibitors from sera before titering viral hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies. These methods have several undesirable features; some are tedious and time-consuming, some remove antibody along with nonspecific inhibitors, and different techniques are usually required to remove the nonspecific inhibitors for different viruses. This communication ...
متن کاملNonspecific reactions in the hemagglutination inhibition test for detection of rubella antibodies.
Approximately 7% of the sera tested to determine the presence of rubella-specific antibodies by the hemagglutination inhibition test demonstrated abnormal patterns of reactivity, rendering the test unreadable. Another 3% of sera were shown to have false-positive titers as high as 1:128. When these abnormally reacting and false-positive sera were heated at 56 degrees C for 30 min after chemical ...
متن کاملSpecificity of the passive hemagglutination test for antibody to rubella virus and the passive hemagglutination response after vaccination.
Nonspecific reactions by the passive hemagglutination test for rubella viral antibody occurred with 1.5% of sera tested. Rises in passive hemagglutination titers (greater than or equal to 4X) occurred with some serum samples taken 14 days after vaccination.
متن کاملImproved rubella hemagglutination inhibtion test: inactivation of non-immunoglobulin hemagglutination inhibitors by phospholipase C.
A method using phospholipase C (PL-C) for removing nonspecific inhibitors (NSI) of rubella virus hemagglutinin is described. PL-C was found to hydrolyze NSI without altering the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) activity of the specific antibody and could be used to remove NSI in the rubella HI test by using formalinized erythrocytes, which resisted the enzymatic action; fresh erythrocytes were ...
