...Ji Yi Xin; Toshiaki Ihara; Katsuhiro Komase; Tetsuo Nakayama Background: Wild-type measles virus (MV) is isolated in B95a but not in Vero cells. Through an adaptation process of wild-type MV to Vero cells, several amino acid substitutions were reported. Methods: Six strains were adapted to Vero...

...Uwe G. Liebert Acute measles is a classic infectious disease of childhood with worldwide distribution. Its causative agent, measles virus (MV), is an efficent pathogen, persisting in nature in populations large enough to support it, even though it is able to cause an acute infection in any...

... autoimmune reactions against brain antigens have been observed and considered of pathogenetic importance. In this short review, virological and immunological findings of measles virus infections in a rat model in relation to autoimmune reactions will be presented and the mechanisms by which measles virus may...

...Steven J. Robbins Measles virus (MV) replication in acutely infected human cells was markedly stimulated following exposure to guanosine 3’,5’-monophosphate (cyclic GMP). Addition of cyclic GMP to tissue culture fluids immediately following infection with the virus resulted in acceleration of virus...

...Hiroyuki Saito; Hiroyasu Sato; Mariko Abe; Seizaburo Harata; Kenichi Amano; Tunehisa Suto; Morihiro Morita Six measles virus strains were isolated from clinical specimens. They differed from a prototype strain in being incapable to grow in cell lines derived from monkey kidney and having a slower...

...Karl W. Hasel; Sharon Day; Stewart Millward; Christopher D. Richardson; William J. Bellini; Peter A. Greer A cDNA library was constructed from poly(A) + RNA prepared from VERO cells infected with the Edmonston strain of measles virus. Clones corresponding to five major viral-specific transcripts...

... in these processes. We have constructed from measles virus genomic RNA an ordered series of overlapping clones containing over 99% of measles virus genetic information. Clones corresponding to the 3’ and 5’ ends of the genome were identified by means of a probe made from ‘capped’ genomic RNA, and their location...

...Jennifer L. McKimm-Breschkin; Fred Rapp Interferon induction in BSC-1 cells by measles virus isolates previously found to be interferon inducing (IF + ) or interferon noninducing (IF - ) was studied in different cell types. Lack of induction by the IF – viruses was not due to an inhibitory factor...

...Paul Knight; Ronald Duff; Ronald Glaser; Fred Rapp The events during the release of measles virus from latently infected hamster cells after co-cultivation with BSC-1 cells were studied by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy techniques. Before co-cultivation, measles virus antigens...

...Fred Rapp; Steven J. Robbins A measles-virus-carrier cell line, designated AV3/MV, was derived from established human amnion (AV3) cells surviving primary infection with the Edmonston strain of measles virus. During maintenance of infected cultures in the laboratory, the cells passed from a highly...

...A.F. Howatson; V.L. Fornasier The structural characteristics and intracellular disposition of microtubules present in osteoclasts in Paget’s disease of bone were compared with those of nucleocapsids in cells infected with measles virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The distribution...

...Marilyn A. Armstrong; Kenneth B. Fraser; Praful V. Shirodaria Trypsin- and acetone-treated virions from either of two strains of measles virus grown in Vero cells stimulated the production in guinea pigs of (i) virus-specific antibodies to polypeptide (P) of molecular weight 70,000 (70K...

...Ruth C. Dunlap; Julie B. Milstien; Marilyn L. Lundquist Measles virus purified 50S RNA spread for electron microscopy appeared as single-stranded molecules with a mean length of 5.30 ± 1.48 µm. When total virus RNA or RNA from nucleocapsids was spread, double-stranded molecules were seen which had...

...Fabian Wild; Tim Greenland The polypeptide composition of a measles virus isolate from a case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, the Halle strain, and the distribution of these polypeptides in the cell membrane have been investigated. In purified virus preparations, four major polypeptides...

...Eiji Watari; Masumi Shimizu; Hidemi Takahashi Objective: Measles virus (MV) first infects the human respiratory tract, but the initial target cells are unknown. We examined whether MV infects Langerhans cell-like dendritic cells (LCs) generated from CD14 + monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF, IL-4...

...E. Watari; E. Shinya; S. Kurane; H. Takahashi The authors studied the effects of immunosuppressive peptide cyclosporin A (CsA) on cell fusion efficiency in cells persistently infected with measles virus (448-PI-Vero cells). Treatment of 448-PI-Vero cells with 5 µ M CsA enhanced the infusion...
