RESUMO

Cobas Core Rubella IgG EIA recomb (Roche), a new, commercially available rubella enzyme immunoassay using recombinant rubella-like particles, was compared with a hemagglutination inhibition assay (Rubenosticon; Organon Teknika) and two whole-virus enzyme immunoassays (IMx [Abbott] and Platelia [Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur]). Compared with those of these reference assays, the relative sensitivities of Cobas Core Rubella IgG recomb were 100, 94, and 95.9%, with specificities amounting to 80.8, 98, and 98.2%, respectively.
