Abstract
Rubella virus (RV)-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) and antibodies were measured in healthy adolescents reimmunized with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Lymphocyte proliferation to RV synthetic peptides was determined before and at 2, 4 and 10 weeks after, MMR. After MMR, increased CMI was observed with 16 peptides, including six containing antibody neutralization (NT) domains. Positive CMI (stimulation index > or =2.0) to E1(254-285) and C(1-29) before vaccination was significantly associated with a boost in NT titers, while positive CMI at weeks 2 or 4 to E1(254-285), E1(301-314), E1(389-408), E1(462-481), E2(134-150), E2(140-156), E2(168-179), C(1-29) and C(88-111) showed the same association.Entities:
