A novel label-free amperometric immunosensor for the detection of rubella vaccine was developed by immobilizing anti-rubella serum on bilayer nano-Au/polymerized o-phenylenediamine film with electrodeposited Prussian Blue (PB) as an electrode transfer mediator on the platinum electrode. The redox reactions of PB as a probe on the platinum surface were blocked due to the binding of the antibody to the antigen, which was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Therefore, the interaction of the antibody with various concentrations of antigen could be detected by measurements of amperometric response in PBS, and the amperometric response on the surface of the modified electrode was inversely proportional to the concentration of rubella vaccine in the sample. The immunosensor showed a specific response to rubella vaccine in the range 8.1x10(-8)-8.0x10(-6) lgCCID50/ml (cell culture infectious dose) and a detection limit of 4.010(-8) lgCCID50/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. To summarize, the present work provides a low-cost, fast response time, highly sensitive and easy-to-prepare method for the determination of antigen in biological products.

Although thorough studies on the immune reponse to rubella have been performed, less attention has been given to the cellular mechanism and mediators that shape the process. Specifically, information concerning the nature ofcytokine patterns involved in the immune response to Rubella vaccination is not avaliable. This study deals with cytokine production patterns of spleen cells from Balb/c mice following vaccination with the Takahashi strain of Rubella vaccine. Mice were injected intraperitonealy with Rubella virus and PBS and 7, 10 or 14 days later, spleen cells were separated and cultured with varying doses of virus, con A or only the medium. ELISA assays were performed on supernatants for measurement of IL-4, INF-gamma and IL-5. LTT (Lymphocyte Transformation Test) was also performed. The data indicate variation in cytokine patterns during the time periods after vaccination. On day 7 a type 1 pattern was observed. The LTT response was also indicative of CMI (Cell Mediated Immunity) response on the 7th and 14th days while a transient suppression on day 10 was observed. These results indicate a time dependent cytokine response with variation ultimately leading o a dominant type 1 (Ti) cytokine response.
