These differences are important, not only in evaluating peptide-based vaccines against rubella but in assaying the immune status of patients with respect to rubella infectivity. For example, the "purified" rubella antigens now available are potentially infectious and carry both the hemagglutinating and...
For this reason the prevention of congenital abnormalities caused by RV infection during early pregnancy requires the determination of an individual's immune status by serology, which means a selective determination of IgG and IgM antibodies specific for rubella virus antigens. Primary rubella infection...
These tests support the diagnosis of recent or active rubella infection, as well as the determination of immune status. Because of the TORCH (toxoplasmosis, others [syphilis, hepatitis B], rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex) panel screening among pregnant women and infants in high-income...
that in our case is 46. In fact, in a 96-well plate, four wells were the control (positives and negatives) and the remaining wells, made of 46 reactive wells and 46 non-reactive wells, were used to perform the sample serology. This means that each serology sample had to be performed...
