23 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Measles virus is highly neuroinvasive, yet host immune responses are highly effective at limiting neurovirulence in humans. We know that neurons are an important target of infection and that both IFN-γ and -β expression are observed in the measles virus-infected human brain.
