Development of a lateral flow immunoassay test strip for the rapid detection of rubella virus

This study was designed to construct a lateral flow immunoassay test strip for rapid detection of rubella virus. Rabbit anti-rubella antibody and pig anti-rubella antibody were successfully purified from sera of rabbit and pig infected with rubella virus. The yields of IgG affinity purification were 1.74 mg/ml and 3.23 mg/ml serum, respectively.
