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...

UNLABELLED Measles and canine distemper viruses (MeV and CDV, respectively) first replicate in lymphatic and epithelial tissues by using SLAM and nectin-4 as entry receptors, respectively. The viruses may also invade the brain to establish persistent infections, triggering fatal complications, such as subacute sclerosis pan-encephalitis (SSPE) in MeV infection or chronic, multiple sclerosis-lik...

We experimentally investigate the Baron-Ferejohn (1989) model of legislative bargaining with two player teams versus individuals. Teams pass minimum winning coalitions (MECs) significantly more often than individuals, meeting or beating the demanding truth wins norm. Teams have significantly more proposer power, and come significantly closer to the SSPE prediction. This results from proposers c...
