Role of normal cell antigens in the establishment of measles virus in newborn white mice.
The Edmontson strain of measles virus was adapted to the brains of newborn white mice to which extracts from African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells used for maintenance of measles virus had been injected intracerebrally. The animals showed symptoms of involvement of the central nervous system (pareses, paralyses) which reappeared in subsequent passages.
