The significance for epidemiological studies antimeasles antibody detection examined by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and plaque reductionneutralization test (PRNT)
Journal Title: Przegląd Epidemiologiczny - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper discusses the role of anti-measles antibodies for protection and significance for epidemiological studies determination of antibodies by different serological methods. The comparison of anti-measles virus antibodies levels measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) was described. It was found that the 200 mIU/ml of anti-measles activity measured by PRNT (level protection against symptomatic disease) is equivalent of 636 mIU/ml measured by EIA (Enzygnost®Anti-Measles Virus/IgG, Simens).
