Abstract
A dot immunobinding assay ( DIA) was used for a quantitative and qualitative
assay of rubella antibody. Purified antigen and conjugated anti-human immunoglobulin
(RAHlg) were prepared. Nitrocellulose paper dotted with the antigen
was added to serially diluted sera or blood samples. The reacting antibodies were
visualized by a peroxidase system. Development of a colored insoluble substrate
was taken as a positive result. The adapted DIA was applied to test 105 serum
samples. The sensitivity and specificity and immune titer of DIA were compared
with hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test.
