A nested set of 11 overlapping synthetic peptides covering the entire sequence of rubella virus capsid protein was synthesized, purified, and tested against human rubella virus-specific T-cell lines and rubella virus-seropositive sera. T-cell lines derived from four donors responded strongly to four synthetic peptides containing residues 96 to 123, 119 to 152, 205 to 233, and 255 to 280. Only one peptide (residues 255 to 280) was recognized by all four T-cell lines. Two human immunodominant linear B-cell epitopes were mapped to residues 1 to 30 and 96 to 123 by using peptide-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All 11 synthetic peptides were highly immunogenic and induced strong antibody responses in rabbits against the respective immunized peptides. Seven of the 11 rabbit antipeptide antisera (anti-1-30, -74-100, -96-123, -119-152, -205-233, -231-257, and -255-280) specifically recognized the capsid protein on immunoblots. Identification of these T- and B-cell epitopes represents the first step toward rational design of synthetic vaccines against rubella.
