Semi-micro plaque neutralization test for rubella antibody.
Attenuated rubella virus, strain Cendehill, was found to produce small, distinct and ring-shaped plaques in Vero cell cultures. This finding was utilized to develop a semi-micro plaque neutralization test for a rubella antibody in 14 cmX9cm (24 wells) plastic trays. The procedure represents a reproducible and economical way to measure rubella neutralizing antibody.
