- Index
The Measles IgG test detects antibodies that indicate long-term immunity to the Rubeola virus. In an MMR Profile, it is used to confirm a patient's immune status, either from previous vaccination or past natural infection. It is not used to diagnose an acute infection (which would require IgM).

Why Context Matters
Equivocal results (near the cutoff) can be confusing. Some patients may lose detectable antibody levels over decades despite having cellular immunity (T-cell memory). Testing may be repeated or a booster dose recommended if results are borderline.
Lab ranges are statistical averages, not biological laws. "Normal" for a 20-year-old male isn't normal for a 60-year-old female.
