Adaptation of Horsesickness Virus to Tissue Culture

Adaptation of wild-type measles virus to tissue culture.

Measles has a host range restricted to humans and monkeys in captivity. Fresh measles virus (MV) isolates replicate readily in several human and simian B-cell lines but need a period of adaptation to other types of cells. The identification of CD46 and CD150 (SLAM) as cellular receptors for MV has helped to clarify certain aspects of the immunobiology of MV infections. We have examined the prop...

Anticomplement Immunofluorescence was used for antibody titration against varicellazoster virus (VZV) in 43 patients with peripheral facial palsy. Nine of 31 patients (29%) with Bell's palsy and eight of 12 patients (75%) with Ramsey-Hunt syndrome had anticomplement immunofluorescence antibody titres of > 1/10. On the other hand, none of 14 patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection and...
