## Abstract Between two and seven sera from cases of persistent detection of rubellaβspecific IgM for periods in excess of 2.5 months, but in the absence of recent primary rubella or rubella reinfection, were examined for rheumatoid factor, heterophile antibody, and IgM reactivity against toxoβplas
The detection of IgA and low-avidity IgG and antibodies in serum is a potentially useful marker of recent infection by a microorganism. We studied the reliability of IgG avidity and presence of IgA for the diagnosis of recent acute infection by rubella virus. Low-avidity IgG (Avy-EIA test) was deter
The avidity (functional affinity) and titre of rubella-specific IgG antibodies were examined in sequential and cross-sectional sera from 38 adult HIV-infected patients, whose HIV status ranged from pre-and recent HIV seroconversion to the AIDS-related complex (ARC) and AIDS, in order to determine wh
