A recently available kit for the determination of rubella haemagglutination inhibiting antibodies (Rubindex, Ortho diagnostics) was was compared with the method used routinely in this laboratory. Rubindex compared favourably in that no significant difference in titre was found in 95.1% of 287 sera tested. Difficulty occurred with some sera from cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, rheumatoid arthritis, and a small number of normal sera containing human "O" cell agglutinins. This was overcome by treatment of the sera with 2-mercaptoethanol. Rubindex had the advantage that all reagents were provided in kit form and the trypsinised human "O" cells provided had a longer shelf life than chick erythrocytes.
将一种最近可用的用于测定风疹血凝抑制抗体的试剂盒（Rubindex，奥多诊断公司）与本实验室常规使用的方法进行了比较。Rubindex表现出色，在检测的287份血清中，95.1%的血清滴度没有显著差异。肺炎支原体感染病例、类风湿性关节炎患者的一些血清以及少数含人“O”细胞凝集素的正常血清出现了问题。通过用2-巯基乙醇处理血清克服了这一问题。Rubindex的优点是所有试剂均以试剂盒形式提供，所提供的经胰蛋白酶处理的人“O”细胞比鸡红细胞的保质期更长。
