Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis Measles Virus: Study of Biological Markers

PMCID: PMC356672  PMID: 4201124

Abstract

Comparative studies between two measles virus strains isolated from patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and a prototype low tissue culture passage Edmonston measles virus are described. Differences were noted in several properties. The findings described in this report suggest that strains of measles virus associated with SSPE have different biological properties and apparently cannot be distinguished from laboratory and field strains of the virus.
