Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms (factors) of the measles virus vaccine L-16 strain persistence in HEp-2 cell culture were analysed. Among the known mechanisms, most likely is the reduction of the cell-destroying properties of the persisting virus due to mutations in nucleoprotein gene manifested by changes of the isoelectric point of NP protein and temperature sensitivity of its synthesis.
