title: [Detection of IgM by immunofluorescence: application to rubella].
abstract: Thirty couples of serum and thirty-five individual sera were tested for the presence of rubella-specific IgM by indirect immunofluorescence. BHK21 cells cultivated on "Lab-tek" were used as an antigenic support. Specific IgM were significantly high in subjects with increased antibody complement fixation or hemagglutination inhibition. Identical findings were observed in a pregnant women having contracted rubella during the seventh month of pregnancy.
