Department of Immunohematology, University Hospital Leiden, The Netherlands.

A group of 88 seronegative 11-year-old Dutch girls was selected to be tested for human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and for both the in vivo and in vitro immune response to rubella virus, 6 and 12 weeks after rubella vaccination. Although a slight influence of HLA-associated factors on the antibody levels, as measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay could not be excluded, no evidence for HLA-associated control of the rubella-specific immune response following vaccination was obtained. From these data it is concluded that HLA-associated factors cannot be expected to hamper the effectiveness of large-scale rubella vaccination procedures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003208 Concanavalin A A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.
D005260 Female Females
D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D012411 Rubella Vaccine A live attenuated virus vaccine of duck embryo or human diploid cell tissue culture origin, used for routine immunization of children and for immunization of nonpregnant adolescent and adult females of childbearing age who are unimmunized and do not have serum antibodies to rubella. Children are usually immunized with measles-mumps-rubella combination vaccine. (Dorland, 28th ed) Vaccine, Rubella
