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

Figure 4

Assay of Moraten strain recombinants cell-cell fusion and virus assembly capacities. Vero cells and CHO-SLAM cells infected with Moraten recombinants were analysed 30 h and 48 h after infection for their cell-cell fusion and virus assembly capacities, respectively. Histogram data represent the mean percentages ± standard deviations for three experiments. (a) CD46- and SLAM-dependent fusion; ((b) and (c)) SLAM-dependent production of cell-associated and cell-free virus, respectively; ((d) and (e)) CD46-dependent production of cell-associated and cell-free virus, respectively.
