title: [Comparison of 2 methods for determining antibodies to collagen: the ELISA test and passive hemagglutination].
abstract: For the determination of antibodies against collagen in different rheumatic diseases the authors elaborated two serological techniques. It was particularly the passive haemagglutination, which proved to be little sensitive and insufficiently reproducible. Therefore, for the determination of antibodies against collagen the authors introduced the ELISA method as one of the varieties of enzyme immunoanalysis, giving more precise results. Both methods were compared and it has become apparent that the ELISA method is more reliable and more suitable for the determination of antibodies against collagen.
