We calculated the geometrical means (GMT) of anti- rubella IgG. T student test or ANOVA test, when appro- priate, was used to compare the means of age per gender and GMT of anti-rubella IgG titres per age classes. Chi- square test was used to compare the proportion of anti- rubella ...
Some of the most successful vaccines, such as oral polio virus and measles, mumps, and rubella virus vaccine, consist of live attenuated viruses. These are given at very low doses, so the vaccine strain must grow in the host to produce sufficient viral antigens to elicit an immune response...
The present invention is based on the problem of providing new rubella antigens which are highly soluble and immunologically highly reactive (i.e. highly antigenic), and which are well suited for the reliable detection of rubella infection, i.e. an infection with the pathogen rubella, and/or ...
immunologically cross reactive to the antigens of the rubella virus. Such antibodies, for example, can be produced by injecting a mammalian or avian animal with a sufficient amount of the peptide to elicit the desired immune response and recovering said antibodies from the serum of said animals....
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 twice. Therefore, the ...
