Rubella IgG antibody detection by ELISA using capillary blood samples collected on filter paper and in microtainer tubes.

Rubella IgG antibodies determined by ELISA of capillary blood samples collected on filter paper and in Microtainer tubes. The results correlated well to those found in tests of venous blood samples. Capillary blood samples can be collected with little inconvenience and by relatively untrained personel. Such samples seem therefore especially suited for large scale screening for rubella antibodies.
