Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercially available reagents was compared with standard serological tests for determination of antibody titers in patients with acute measles. The measles-specific ELISA was as sensitive as complement fixation, hemagglutination inhibition and indirect fluorescent-antibody methods. The ELISA method used was simple, sensitive, inexpensive and reproducible and may conveniently be used in a small clinical laboratory.
