Diagnosis of rubella virus infections. I. A comparison between Vero and BHK-21 cells for the detection of specific IgG and IgM antibodies by immunofluorescence.
Vero cells were more suitable then BHK-21 cells for the detection of rubella-specific IgG antibodies because the nonspecific fluorescence was minimal. However, BHK-21 cells were found more sensitive than Vero cells for the detection of rubella-specific IgM antibodies.
