title: Isolation and characterization of the measles virus strains with low hemagglutination activity.
abstract: Six measles virus strains were isolated from clinical specimens. They differed from a prototype strain in being incapable to grow in cell lines derived from monkey kidney and having a slower electrophoretic mobility of the hemagglutinin protein and a very low hemagglutination activity.
