title: Clinical evaluation of the Ortho Rubella ELISA Test System.
abstract: The Ortho Rubella ELISA Test System (Ortho Diagnostics Canada Ltd., Toronto, Ontario) is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of IgG antibodies to rubella virus. Comparison of the Ortho Rubella ELISA with a commercial hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test revealed that the ELISA is well suited for routine use as a qualitative screening test for rubella immune status or the demonstration of seroconversions. Quantitation of rubella antibodies by the Ortho Rubella ELISA, however, requires that ELISA endpoint determination be made on serial serum dilutions.
