Mutagenic Analysis of the 3′ cis-Acting Elements of the Rubella Virus Genome

Chen, Min-Hsin, Frey, Teryl K.

Thermodynamically predicted secondary structure analysis of the 3′-terminal 305 nucleotides (nt) of the rubella virus (RUB) genome, a region conserved in all RUB defective interfering RNAs,...

Analysis of the 3′ cis-Acting Elements of Rubella Virus by Using Replicons Expressing a Puromycin Resistance Gene

Chen, Min-Hsin, Frolov, Ilya, Icenogle, Joseph, Frey, Teryl K.

A rubella virus (RUB) replicon, RUBrep/PAC, was constructed and used to map the 3′ cis-acting elements (3′ CSE) of the RUB genome required for RUB replication. The RUBrep/PAC replicon had the...

Rubella Virus Capsid Protein Modulates Viral Genome Replication and Virus Infectivity

Chen, Min-Hsin, Icenogle, Joseph P.

The structural proteins (SP) of the Togaviridae can be deleted in defective interfering RNAs. The dispensability of viral SP has allowed construction of noninfectious viral expression vectors and...

Comparison of Four Methods Using Throat Swabs To Confirm Rubella Virus Infection▿

Zhu, Zhen, Xu, Wenbo, Abernathy, Emily S., Chen, Min-Hsin, Zheng, Qi, Wang, Tongzhan, ...

Laboratory tests are essential for confirming sporadic cases and outbreaks of rubella. Detection of rubella virus is often necessary to confirm rubella cases and to identify specimens to be used to...

Confirmation of Rubella within 4 Days of Rash Onset: Comparison of Rubella Virus RNA Detection in Oral Fluid with Immunoglobulin M Detection in Serum or Oral Fluid ▿

Abernathy, Emily, Cabezas, Cesar, Sun, Hong, Zheng, Qi, Chen, Min-hsin, Castillo-Solorzano, Carlos, ...

Rubella virus infection is typically diagnosed by the identification of rubella virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in serum, but approximately 50% of serum samples from rubella cases...
