Abstract
An indirect immunofluorescence assay using a 96 microwell cell culture plate (IFA) was developed for the detection of antibodies to C. pneum oniae. The results obtained by IFA on 230 sera of healthy subjects wer e compared with those obtained with the microimmunofluorescence test. The correlation coefficient for IgG detection with the two methods was 0.96 showing good agreement.
