Successful DNA immunization against measles: neutralizing antibody against either the hemagglutinin or fusion glycoprotein protects rhesus macaques without evidence of atypical measles
Article Abstract:
Research presented concerns the development of measles vaccines for the immunization of infants in poor countries. A DNA measles vaccine is studied that protects against the disease without predisposing the patient to a more severe form of the disease, atypical measles.

Production of atypical measles in rhesus macaques: evidence for disease mediated by immune e complex formation and eosinophils in the presence of fusion-inhibiting antibody
Article Abstract:
Evidence in macaques for disease mediated by immune complex formation and eosinophils where fusion-inhibiting antibody is present is discussed based on production of atypical measles in the animals. Fusion-inhibiting antibody appeared earlier in these animals than in nonimmunized monkeys. Problems with measles vaccine used in humans are discussed.
