The study examined the relationship between rubella virus (RV)-induced gene expression and proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine secretion in females previously vaccinated with MMR. Gene clusters enriched for functional pathways of innate immune system activation and antiviral responses were found to predict RV-specific MCP-1, MCP-4, IP-10, and IL-2 secretion.
