(A) Schematic diagram of measles virus genome. The P gene encodes the P protein and the non-structural V and C proteins. The V protein is translated from an edited RNA with a non-templated G residue. The V protein-specific region is indicated in red. The C protein is translated from an alternative open reading frame (purple) initiated by the second AUG. (B) Isolation of wild-type MV using B95a cells. Pathogenic wild-type MV strains can be isolated by inoculating throat swabs from measles patients in B95a cells. MV strains isolated in Vero cells lose their pathogenicity.
