Functional and Structural Characterization of Neutralizing Epitopes of Measles Virus Hemagglutinin Protein
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Effective vaccination programs have dramatically reduced the number of measles-related deaths globally. Although all the available data suggest that measles eradication is biologically feasible, a structural and biochemical basis for the single serotype nature of measles virus (MV) remains to be provided. The hemagglutinin (H) protein, which binds to two discrete proteinaceous receptors, is the major neutralizing...
