RESUMO
Brain materials from four cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis were examined by immune fluorescence with monoclonal antibodies against five structural components of measles virus. All five antigens including the matrix component were present in the brain tissues of all cases. A defective Vero cell-associated virus isolate from one of the cases produced all of the structural components except the matrix protein.
