title: Use of MAC-ELISA for evaluation of yellow fever vaccination.
abstract: An evaluation of the IgM antibody immune response against yellow fever using strain 17D was carried out by MAC-ELISA and PRNT. The results showed an agreement of 97% between both tests and the authors conclude that MAC-ELISA can be used as a specific and sensitive assay to replace the PRNT for detecting yellow fever antibodies in human sera, after vaccination programs.
