Failure to cleave measles virus fusion protein in lymphoid cells. A possible mechanism for viral persistence in lymphocytes

The host-directed cleavage of measles virus fusion protein on infected lymphoid cells was studied to understand the mechanism of viral persistence in lymphoid cells in vivo. Several lymphoblastoid cell lines were infected with measles virus, and the viral glycoproteins expressed on the cell’s surfac...
