title: Humoral immune response in children with measles.
abstract: Twenty-eight Black children with complicated measles were investigated for their capacity to produce antibodies when stimulated with TAB antigen. Their measles antibody titres were also measured. Antibody production to TAB was defective, especially the "H" antibody. Production of measles antibody was sometimes delayed in its appearance but subsequently reached normal levels.
