Antibody response to individual rubella virus proteins in congenital and other rubella virus infections.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Serum samples from patients with various forms of rubella virus infection were tested for antibodies to each of three viral structural proteins by radioimmunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In most sera antibody to E1 protein was the predominant species. Sera from patients with congenital rubella syndrome, however, contained significantly more E2 antibody relative to E1 antibody than did sera from other rubella patients.
