title: Detection of measles virus genome in blood leucocytes of patients with certain autoimmune diseases.
abstract: RNA isolated from lymphocytes of peripheral blood was dot-hybridized to a hybrid plasmid containing specific sequences for measles virus nucleocapsid protein. Viral RNA was detected in the lymphocytes of 28 of 34 (82%) patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and of 40 of 68 (59%) patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN), and was not detected in 29 control patients.
