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.

The HEPES–saline–albumin–gelatin (HSAG) diluent found optimal for agglutination of fowl erythrocytes by rubella virus antigen is also optimal for agglutination of trypsin-treated human group O cells. Albumins from different commercial sources, however, can have varying inhibitory effects on rubella hemagglutination titers. This can have a significant effect on the hemagglutination-inhibition test since antibody titers measured by this procedure are related to the amount of antigen used.
