Summary
A unique late effect of rubella virus infection of BHK21/13S cells, was the formation of a glycolipid compound detected neither in control cells nor in virus. The glycolipid was shodied mainly by gas-liquid chromatography and found to contain fucose, glycerol with a molar ratio 2:1 and palmitic, stearic, oleic and myristic acids.
