The mutagenic effect of measles virus on cell cultures of different origin.
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.
