By reverse transcription-PCR, measles virus (MV) mRNA was detected in the brain, kidney, spleen, liver, and lung tissues obtained from 23 (45.1%) of 51 autopsy subjects, with the detection rates of each tissue ranging from 8 to 20%. Sequence analysis revealed frequent mutations in the corresponding viral protein. These results suggest that MV mutants commonly persist in apparently healthy individuals.
通过逆转录聚合酶链反应,在51例尸检对象中的23例(45.1%)的脑、肾、脾、肝和肺组织中检测到麻疹病毒(MV)mRNA,各组织的检测率在8%至20%之间。序列分析显示相应病毒蛋白中存在频繁突变。这些结果表明,MV突变体通常在表面健康的个体中持续存在。
