Chromosome aberrations in cells infected with various strains of measles virus.
The incidence of chromosome fragmentation and/or breakage has been studied in cultured human embryonic diploid cells infected with different wild and vaccinal strains of measles virus. It seemed that for wild strains the mean incidence of fragmentation was two times higher, that of breakage two times lower than for the vaccinal strains.
