Popis: Primary structure and proteins of measles virus variants passaged in tissue culture were studied. The findings suggest that genetic determinants responsible for measles virus attenuation are not linked with the genes coding for envelope proteins and nucleoprotein of this virus. However the detected nucleotide substitutions can be considered as the main prerequisites for the appearance of mutations in other regions of viral genome, leading to decrease of virulence for humans.
