Abstract:
Antibody and cell-bound immune response were assessed in rabbits inoculated by the intravenous route with Cenedehill or with wild rubella virus. Our results suggest that wild or attenuated live rubella virus induce a transient unresponsiveness of the lymphocytes to PHA stimulation in vitro and suggest also that this immunosuppression was due to the persistence of rubella virus in the lymphocytes.

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
