Rubella Virus core antigen Anticuerpo(3D2): sc-52200

---

The Rubella Virus causes the disease rubella, also designated epidemic roseola, German measles, liberty measles or three-day measles. Rubella is spread via respiratory transmission from human to human, and the symptoms of the disease are often so mild that an attack can pass unnoticed, making diagnosis difficult. Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) can occur in the developing fetus of a pregnant woman who has contracted rubella during her first trimester, resulting in serious birth defects. While the phosphorylation state of the capsid does not directly influence the rate of synthesis of viral RNA and proteins or the assembly and secretion of virions, the presence of phosphate on the capsid is critical for early events in virus replication, most likely the uncoating of virions and/or disassembly of nucleocapsids.
