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 strain...
