Abstract
Isolation of measles virus from the brain of a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis was accomplished by in vitro propagation of the patient's brain cells and cocultivation of the brain cells with a line of green-monkey-kidney cells. This observation offers direct evidence that measles virus has a a role in the etiology of the disease.Keywords
