EIAgen Rubella IgG

analyte

Rubella

brief description

Rubella virus causes a very common infectious disease in humans, accompanied by a typical diffused rash. The course of the illness is generally short and without complications. However, it is harmful for the fetus if contracted during pregnancy, because the virus is teratogenic and may cause very serious malformations especially during the first month of pregnancy. It is therefore essential to determine the patient's state of immunity before the start of pregnancy, if possible, in order to perform vaccination or, if this is impossible, to monitor the course of the pregnancy to observe whether seroconversion occurs. Several methods are employed for the assay of specific immunoglobulins. Of these methods, the ELISA technique offers the advantage of being completely automated.
