Measles virus nucleotide sequences were searched for in diseased and normal-appearing white matter from brains of four multiple sclerosis victims. At the level of sensitivity established, 2.5 to 7.8 measles virus genome-equivalents of RNA, or 4.9 genome-equivalents of putative DNA per diploid cell quantity of DNA, could have been detected. At these levels, no measles virus genetic information was found in any of the four brains.
在四名多发性硬化症患者大脑的病变白质和外观正常的白质中搜索麻疹病毒核苷酸序列。在所确定的灵敏度水平下，每二倍体细胞量的DNA中，若存在2.5至7.8个麻疹病毒基因组当量的RNA，或4.9个推定DNA基因组当量，本应能够检测到。但在这四个大脑的任何一个中，均未发现麻疹病毒遗传信息。
