The chemiluminescence of fluorescein derivatives is greatly enhanced when they are conjugated to proteins. We exploited this property in devising a chemiluminescence immunoassay for rubella antibodies. In this sequential "sandwich"-type assay, tubes coated with rubella antigen are used for antibody separation and goat antibody to human IgG conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate is used for detection of bound rubella antibodies.
