Wild type MeV can infect Vero cells that express human and marmoset SLAMF1 but not mouse SLAMF1. (A) Alignment of protein sequences of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1) from human (AAH12602.1), marmoset (XP_002760222), and mouse (AA17100.1) homologues. Shaded residues indicate amino acids that differ from the human sequence. Shaded residues indicate amino acids that differ from the human sequence. There is a high level of conservation between human and marmoset SLAMF1 sequences; (B) Vero-SLAMF1 cells can be infected with wild-type IC-323 strain of MeV that expresses the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene. Cells were infected with virus at an m.o.i. of 5 for a period of 60 h. Syncytia were visible as early as 18 h.
