Measles Virus: Identification in the M Protein Primary Sequence of a Potential Molecular Marker for Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis

Figure 2

(a) Comparison of the cell-cell fusion capacity of Moraten (genotype A), Lys-1 (genotype B3), G954 (genotype B3), and Lys05/06 (genotype D4) strains. CHO-SLAM cells were infected with the different strains and the fusion levels analysed 30–36 h after infection. The histogram data represent the mean percentages ± standard deviations for three experiments. (b) Cell-associated virus production of the Moraten (genotype A), Lys-1 (genotype B3), G954 (genotype B3), and Lys05/06 (genotype D4) strains. CHO-SLAM cells infected with the different viruses were analysed for the production of cell-associated viral particles 48 h after infection. The histogram data represent the mean percentages ± standard deviations for three experiments. (c) Cell-free virus production of the Moraten (genotype A), Lys-1 (genotype B3), G954 (genotype B3), and Lys05/06 (genotype D4) strains. CHO-SLAM cells infected with the different viruses were analysed for the production of cell-free viral particles 48 h after infection. The histogram data represent the mean percentages ± standard deviations for three experiments.
