The authors have examined the potentiality of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve the sensitivity of indirect hemagglutination test (IHAT) in studies of postvaccinal immunity to measles, diphtheria, and tetanus. Parallel studies of 170 blood sera in routine IHAT and in IHAT modification with PEG have demonstrated a marked (more than 6-fold) elevation of the test sensitivity (t = 7.11; p less than 0.001).
