Antibody elution by chloroform and trichloroethylene was compared with the Rubin ether method modified by Hughes-Jones for IgG antibodies and the Landsteiner and Miller heat method for IgM antibodies. After washing the cells, the chloroform and trichloroethylene method was done at 37 degrees C for 10 minutes. With this technique the eluate remained on the upper layer above the red blood cell stroma layer, while with Rubin's method the eluate remained below the cell stroma. The reported technique was as effective as the Landsteiner and Miller heat method for IgM antibodies, and a double volume of eluate was obtained.
