Vero cells were more suitable then BHK-21 cells for the detection of rubella-specific 1gG antibodies because the nonspecific fluorescence was minimal. However, BHK-21 cells were found more sensitive than Vero cells for the detection of rubella-specific IgM antibodies.

Semiautomated Method

ABSTRACT We describe here a rapid and semiautomated method for the determination of rubella virus immunoglobulin G (IgG) avidity with the VIDAS instrument. A total of 153 serum samples from persons with naturally acquired rubella virus infections (n = 98), from vaccinated persons (n = 44), and from patients with autoantibodies (n = 11) were included in this study. The rubella virus-specific IgG avidity assay we developed for the VIDAS instrument was evaluated by comparison with an in-house method. Results obtained with the VIDAS instrument allow considering this method valuable to help confirm or exclude acute primary infection or recent vaccination.

Abstract This retrospective study aimed to determine the correlation between cytokine levels and virus status in the aqueous humor of 38 patients with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) with/without viral presence between May 2017 and January 2020. The levels of cytokines were analyzed in the groups with and without virus-related FHI. Among the patients, 50% had rubella virus, 5.26% had cytomegalovirus, and 2.63% had herpes simplex virus infections. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 was significantly higher and that of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was significantly lower in the virus-positive group than in the virus-negative group (P = 0.015, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). Although there was no significant difference in the mean expression of vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), IL-10, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), those of VCAM-1 and IL-10 were higher (M = 1338, M = 1390, respectively; M = 6.225 and 10.600, respectively) and that of VEGF was lower (M = 134.5, M = 38.70, respectively) in the virus-positive group than in the virus-negative group. Similar findings were observed for the expressions of IL-6, IL-8, and bFGF in the rubella-positive and -negative groups. Viral presence was highly related to FHI, especially that of the rubella virus. High levels of inflammatory cytokines and low levels of neovascularization-related factors are involved in rubella-related FHI. These study findings could be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of FHI.
