Further studies on the variables affecting rubella haemagglutination and haemagglutination-inhibition tests.
The different factors affecting rubella HA or HI were studied and the occurrence of rubella HA, also in absence of gelatine, albumin and Ca++, was shown. The influence on HA and HI titers of different systems--diluent and indicator erythrocytes--was also discussed.
