Abstract
Purified rubella virus particles contain two glycopolypeptides (62K and 44K to 51K) and one nonglycosylated polypeptide (35K). Glycoproteins can be labeled with tritiated sodiumborohydride after oxidation with galactose oxidase indicating that galactose is the terminal carbohydrate unit. The other carbohydrate components are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and mannose.
