		Rubella vaccines for childhood immunization are used in the private sector in a high proportion of countries, including regions where vaccination against rubella is not a formal part of the immunization programmes.
		Rubella virus is transmitted by the respiratory route, replicating in the nasopharyngeal mucosa and local lymph nodes.
		A policy of rubella vaccination of adults is essentially free of risks of altering rubella transmission dynamics, whereas inadequately implemented childhood vaccination runs the risk of increasing the number of susceptibles among adults, including women of childbearing age, and the possibility of increased numbers of cases of CRS.

	Rubella Facts
		Since the rubella vaccine was introduced in 1969, cases of rubella and CRS in the United States have remained low.
		In unvaccinated populations, rubella is primarily a childhood disease.
		The rubella vaccine is part of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine series given to children beginning at 12 months of age.

	Radiolabelled rubella virus and method - Patent 4178360
		In contrast to the prior art procedures, the use of the novel radiolabelled rubella virus of the present invention provides a radioimmunoassay for rubella antibodies which does not require pretreatment of the serum samples, is not subject to standardization problems with a supported antigen and does not employ unstable radiolabelled second antibody preparations.
		The rubella virus used as the substrate for radioiodination is cultured and purified by procedures well-known in the art.
		Stock preparations of rubella virus (strains M-33 or Gilchrist) were diluted approximately 1-50 or 1-100 in Minimal Essential Medium (Eagle) prepared as previously described with the exception that new-born bovine serum was omitted and a serum substitute consisting of 20 ng/ml.

	Rubella (German Measles)
		Rubella - commonly known as German measles or 3-day measles - is an infection that primarily affects the skin and lymph nodes.
		It is caused by the rubella virus (not the same virus that causes measles), which is usually transmitted by secretions from the nose or throat.
		Other symptoms of rubella, which are more common in teens and adults, may include: headache; loss of appetite; mild conjunctivitis (inflammation of the lining of the eyelids and eyeballs); a stuffy or runny nose; swollen lymph nodes in other parts of the body; and pain and swelling in the joints (especially in young women).

	Diluents for rubella virus hemagglutination-inhibition test - Patent 4059491 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-09)
		The hemagglutination-inhibition (hereinafter briefly referred to as HI) test for rubella virus is an important tool in serological diagnosis because of its comparatively high sensitivity, expedience and convenience in use as compared to other diagnostic procedures for rubella virus, such as neutralization, complement fixation, fluorescent antibody and other tests.
		Heretofore, in such rubella virus HI tests, the three reactants, rubella virus hemagglutinating antigen (hereinafter briefly referred to as rubella virus HA antigen), test serum and erythrocytes have been used as previously diluted with the same type of diluent, and various diluents for this purpose are known.
		The rubella virus HI antibody titer is expressed in terms of the maximum dilution factor of the test serum at which the agglutination of erythrocytes has been completely inhibited.

		Rubella viral cultures are time consuming, expensive, not readily available, and used mainly for tracking the epidemiology of rubella virus during an outbreak.
		Rubella infection may be acquired from an infected asymptomatic person or from a patient during the incubation period for which infected persons may begin to shed the virus and, therefore, are contagious before the onset of symptoms.
		Rubella virus strain contained in MMR is grown in human diploid cell cultures, while the other 2 components, measles and mumps virus strains, are produced in chick embryo fibroblasts but do not contain significant amounts of egg white (ovalbumin) cross-reacting proteins.

		Immunization against rubella is not recommended for infants less than 12 months of age, because antibodies they received from their mothers before birth may interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine.
		A past history of having a rubella infection does not prove immunity, because the signs of rubella infection are not reliable enough to be certain that you have had the disease.

		Rarely, the virus may be shed from the pharynx up to 15 days after the appearance of the rash, in rapidly diminishing amounts, and it is very difficult to detect by culture after 5-7 days.
		The hallmark of rubella is the generalized, tender lymphadenopathy that involves all nodes, but which is most striking in the suboccipital, postauricular, and anterior and posterior cervical nodes.
		In contrast, in 2003 an increase occurred in cases of rubella in England and Wales that was the direct result of a decrease in the vaccination rate, because of perceived adverse effects of the MMR vaccination, namely autism.

		Rubella virus is a small enveloped virus that assembles in association with Golgi membranes.
		Freeze-substitution electron microscopy of rubella virus-infected cells revealed a previously unrecognized virion polymorphism inside the Golgi stacks: homogeneously dense particles without a defined core coexisting with less dense, mature virions that contained assembled cores.
		The homogeneous particles appear to be a precursor form during the virion morphogenesis process as the forms with mature morphology were the only ones detected inside secretory vesicles and on the exterior of cells.
