title: [The establishment of method for identifying China vaccine strains and wild strains of measles virus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish a simple and quick method for identifying China vaccine strains and wild strains of Measles Virus.
  
  
  METHODS
  To search the enzyme site in Hemagglutinin gene of measles virus for different domestic vaccine strains and wild strains of measles virus, and design the RT-PCR primer within the range covering the enzyme site, and then to confirm the specificity and sensibility of the RT-PCR method, and then identify the RT-PCR product by RFLP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The one-step RT-PCR method is sensitive, the measles virus of 4.64 TCID50 can be detected at least. No positive bands can be found in the non-measles virus strains, it means that the RT-PCR method has good specificity, the PCR products of Chian measles vaccine strains of Shang-191 and Chang-47 were all cut into two fragments (287 bp and 151 bp) by Afi II, but two measles wild virus strains can't be cut by Afl II.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The RT-PCR-RFLP method which we established is a rapid and simple method for identifying China vaccine strain and wild strain.
