Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Synthetic Peptides to Identify Measles Nucleoprotein T-Cell Epitopes in Vaccinated and Naturally Infected Humans☆☆☆

TL;DR: Use of chimeric molecules containing multiple well-characterized T- and B-cell epitopes or genetic alteration of attenuated vaccine virus to enhance critical T-cell responses may eventually lead to the development of a vaccine candidate that can more closely model the patterns of immune response elicited by wild-type virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Measles Virus RNA in Air and Surface Specimens in a Hospital Setting

TL;DR: This is the first report of environmental surveillance for MeV, and the results suggest that MeV-infected fomites may be present in healthcare settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the immune response to variant influenza type B hemagglutinins expressed in vaccinia virus.

TL;DR: Results with this model system support the view that influenza vaccines prepared with egg-derived virus should be protective against microvariants of virus that grow preferentially in MDCK and possibly other mammalian cells.
