Interplay between virus-specific effector response and Foxp3 regulatory T cells in measles virus immunopathogenesis. [PDF]
Measles is a highly contagious childhood disease associated with an immunological paradox: although a strong virus-specific immune response results in virus clearance and the establishment of a life-long immunity, measles infection is followed by an ...

Measles: What we have learned from non-human primate models [PDF]
Studies in non-human primates (NHPs) have been crucial for our understanding of measles as a high impact viral disease of humans. Over a century ago, inoculations of NHPs with filtered secretions from measles patients first identified a virus as the ...

Measles virus (MeV) is exceptionally contagious and still a major cause of death in child.However, recently significant progress towards the elimination of measles has been made through increased vaccination coverage of measles-containing vaccines. The hemagglutinin (H) protein of MeV interacts with a cellular receptor, and this interaction is the ...

Advances in the design and development of oncolytic measles viruses. [PDF]
A successful oncolytic virus is one that selectively propagates and destroys cancerous tissue without causing excessive damage to the normal surrounding tissue. Oncolytic measles virus (MV) is one such virus that exhibits this characteristic and thus has
