Abstract excerpt
The complete nucleotide sequence of the H protein gene of seven measles virus (MV) strains, representing three MV genotypes circulating in the UK in recent years, was determined. Compared to the MV vaccine strain Moraten (Mor-v), the divergence of the coded H gene (aal-600) of the seven UK strains was between 1.8% and 2.8%. Representative isolates from each of the genotypes were tested by...
