Abstract
Epidemiological studies of measles and measles immunization frequently require determination of measles antibody status. In developing countries, where venipuncture is frequently unacceptable and where refrigerated storage of serum specimens is often unavailable, microtiter techniques not requiring refrigeration are required. We developed a filter paper technique that measures measles hemagglutination inhibition antibody and meets these criteria. Comparison of separately collected venous blood and peripheral blood collected on filter paper demonstrated 97% agreement in terms of presence or absence of antibody. In 30 of 32 measles specimens, 94% of titers were the same or varied by less than 2 twofold dilutions.
