Sera from females aged 1 to 40 years were assayed for rubella virus antibodies. Results showed that by age 14 years, 60% had antibodies and that by 19 years, 70% were positive. This figure rose to 80% by 24 years of age and remained unchanged in older age groups.A comparison of the incidence of high and low levels of antibodies in each age group revealed that antibody levels fell between ages 20 and 40 years. Only 20% of individuals in the latter group had a high antibody level compared to 80% in the former.These results are discussed as they relate to the problems of reinfection and possible vaccination procedures.
对1至40岁女性的血清进行风疹病毒抗体检测。结果显示，到14岁时，60%的人有抗体，到19岁时，70%呈阳性。到24岁时，这一数字升至80%，在年龄较大的组中保持不变。对每个年龄组中高抗体水平和低抗体水平的发生率进行比较发现，抗体水平在20至40岁之间下降。后一组中只有20%的个体抗体水平高，而前一组为80%。讨论了这些结果与再感染问题和可能的疫苗接种程序的关系。
