Two systems for measurement of rubella hemagglutination inhibition antibodies were compared. One had chick erythrocytes as indicator and the other, which is available in kit form ("Rubindex," Ortho-Diagnostics), uses human group O erythrocytes. Correlation to within one dilution of each other was noted in 92% of the tests. The Rubindex system has the advantage of longer shelf life of reagents and also does not require one of the absorption steps necessary for the other method, thus saving technologist's time.
对两种风疹血凝抑制抗体检测系统进行了比较。一种以鸡红细胞作为指示物，另一种（以试剂盒形式提供，即“Rubindex”，由奥索诊断公司生产）使用O型人红细胞。在92%的检测中，两种系统的结果在相互稀释一倍的范围内具有相关性。Rubindex系统的优点是试剂保质期更长，并且不需要另一种方法所需的吸收步骤之一，从而节省了技术人员的时间。
