Immunological mechanisms controlling measles virus infection.
Recent data of the literature are reviewed with reference to : 1) the antigenic determinants of measles virus ; 2) the immunological mechanisms controlling measles infection (neutralization of extracellular and cell membrane-bound virus, immune destruction of infected cells, interference with virus transmission from infected cells during cell division of syncytium formation); 3) particularities of humoral and cell-mediated immunity in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
