title: Enzyme immunoassay--a method of serological survey of measles vaccination.
abstract: Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detection of antibodies to measles virus designed in the Moscow Research Institute of Viral Preparations has proved highly sensitive (98%) and specific (100%) as tested in 492 vaccinated children. Comparison of EIA and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test allowed to determine the cut-off value of the optical density to be equal to 0.1. The serum dilution 1:10 was found appropriate for the screening.
