Glycosylated, membrane-associated E1 (58-kDa) and E2 (47- to 49-kDa) rubella virus proteins and unglycosylated nucleoprotein C (33 kDa), from separately expressed vaccinia virus recombinants, were injected into golden Syrian hamsters. Rubella virus E1 and E2 glycoproteins consistently induced an organ-specific autoimmune disease, autoimmune lymphocytic hypophysitis, which was evidenced by the induction of autoantibodies against pituitary cells and by lymphocytic infiltration of the pituitary. Neonatal thymectomy prevented the disease. In contrast, rubella virus nucleoprotein C did not induce either autoantibodies against pituitary cells or lymphocytic infiltration of the pituitary. This finding raises the possibility that virus-specific protein itself can induce an organ-specific autoimmune disease in certain circumstances.
