A new study under consideration at BMC Microbiology and published on the Research Square* preprint server describes a potential relationship between antibody titers against the rubella virus and the ...

Passive immunization is a method that helps prevent rubella in those who are exposed or susceptible to the disease. In this strategy, ready-made IgG antibodies against rubella are administered.

Two distinct, specific, “soluble” precipitinogens—θ and ι—have been detected by immunodiffusion in concentrates of medium from pig kidney cell cultures (PS-RV) chronically infected with rubella virus.

In a new study, researchers aimed to assess the evidence of immunity against rubella in 21 newly diagnosed adolescent girls with juvenile lupus. Prior to enrollment, all girls received two doses of ...

The diagnosis of rubella can be made by isolating the virus from the nasopharynx or by means of a positive antibody titer. Elevated rubella immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody indicates current rubella ...
