Immunofluorescence test for IgM rubella antibodies in whole serum after absorption with anti-gammaFc

R Gispen et al. Clin Exp Immunol. 1975 Dec.

Abstract

A technique for detecting IgM rubella antibodies by immunofluorescence was developed. Total serum IgG was removed by prior immunoabsorption with anti-gammaFc. This prevents interference by rheumatoid factors in the serum. The test appeared sensitive and specific in sera of rubella convalescents and infants with congenital rubella.
