slam and dc-sign measles receptor polymorphisms and their impact on antibody and cytokine responses to measles vaccine.background: despite the use of measles vaccine, measles virus continues to circulate and cause severe disease. immune responses to the measles vaccine are variable between individuals, with up to 10% failing to produce a sufficient protective response post-vaccination. signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (slam) and dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing nonintegrin (dc-sign; cd209) are specific measles receptors: slam binds and permits entry of the virus into the ...201121645571
studies of measles viruses circulating in australia between 1999 and 2001 reveals a new genotype.nineteen distinct measles virus (mv) strains associated with nine different genotypes were identified in five australian states (victoria, new south wales, queensland, northern territory and western australia) between 1999 and 2001. one of the strains identified is likely to represent a new genotype within the clade d viruses (proposed to be d9). no evidence for an indigenous mv strain was found. when epidemiologic information associated with the index case was available for the outbreaks, it us ...200312573500
