title: The mutagenic effect of measles virus on cell cultures of different origin.
abstract: Differences between strains of measles virus in their mutagenic effect on cells of different animals and man were found. The mutagenic activity of measles virus strains was species-specific. In the process of spontaneous transformation the sensitivity of cells to the mutagen changed.
