Serologic Testing for Rubella

Serologic Testing

July 2008

This change results in the following tests have been discontinued at Mayo Medical Laboratories:

• #83264 Rubella Antibodies, IgG and IgM, Serum
• #8317 Rubella Antibodies, IgM, Serum
• #80804 (Rubella component only) TORCH Profile IgM

I just want to stress that the toxoplasma, CMV and HSV components of the TORCH profile will continue to be available.  It’s also important that I emphasize that Mayo Medical Laboratories will continue to offer testing for IgG-class antibodies to Rubella as a mechanism of determining immunity and response to vaccination.
