Figure 3: Metal and pH dependence of liposome binding. In summary, the structure of rubella virus E1 revealed a class II fusion protein that has evolved a number of specific features, placing it ...

The new findings reveal a protein structure not previously seen in other viruses that is an essential component of infectious rubella virus, said Michael Rossmann, Purdue University's Hanley ...

Genetic analyses showed clear homology of the genetic structure of these viruses, and the evolutionary relationships between them and the rubella virus that causes disease in humans. The E1 ...

an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria.

While the rubella virus in the shot is grown using fetal cells, the vaccine does not contain cellular debris or DNA particles. The MMR vaccine only contains weakened strains of measles ...

Before the Zika virus outbreak, which appears to be associated with serious birth defects in babies in Brazil, there was rubella, also known as German measles, which terrified the pregnant women ...

"Rubella was this lone wolf, this mystery, this virus that never had any relatives," said Tony Goldberg, an epidemiologist at UW, who maintains a research project in Uganda's Kibale National Park.

The rubella virus, which belongs to the Matonaviridae family, causes rubella. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when a person with the infection coughs or sneezes. Because rubella is ...

A rubella blood test checks to see if you have antibodies to the rubella virus. Antibodies are proteins your immune system makes to help fight infections and keep you from getting sick.
