Replication of measles virus in human lymphocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replication of measles virus was restricted in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). However, in in vitro-infected, unstimulated cells, active synthesis of viral RNA and proteins occurred, while the release of infectious virus could not be detected. Stimulation with PHA caused a productive infection cycle comparable to the lytic infection. Replication of viral RNA was demonstrated in both T and B cells, and in both OKT4+- and OKT8+-depleted T cell subsets. The presence of measles virus RNA was detected in PBMC isolated from measles patients, and the production of the immunoreactive hemagglutinin protein was defective in these cells.

Measles infection of human mononuclear cells. I. Acute infection of peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes
A study of the susceptibility of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells to measles virus infection and replication is reported. Resting lymphocytes obtained from adults showed very low levels of infection and virus replication while lymphocytes activated by plant mitogens or allogenic lymphocytes supported mononuclear cells obtained from the umbilical cord of healthy neonates were more suscep...
متن کامل942 Measles Virus
A relation has been assumed between the pathogenesis of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) 1 and a preceding infection with measles virus that had been contracted some 10 yr before (1). Although no formal proof exists that measles virus has remained present in individual children suffering from SSPE, this is generally believed to be the case. Thus it is not known where the measles virus...
متن کاملDifferential permissivity to measles virus infection of human and CD46-transgenic murine lymphocytes.
Analysis of measles virus (MV) pathogenesis requires the development of an adequate small animal model of MV infection. In this study, permissivity to MV infection was compared in human and transgenic murine T lymphocytes, expressing different levels of the human MV receptor, CD46. Whereas MV binding and entry correlated with CD46 expression, higher levels of MV replication were always observed...

Background:In the recent decade, the reverse genetics method has been broadly used for rescue of negative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA or viral minigenomes. This technique has been applied to study different steps in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Reverse genetics could also be implemented for design of new vaccines. The T7 RNA polymerase activity as well as virus (nucleocapsi...
