Studies on an attenuated measles-virus vaccine. I. Development and preparations of the vaccine: technics for assay of effects of vaccination.

IN the first seven reports of this series the development and mode of preparation of an avianized attenuated measles-virus vaccine together with observations on the clinical and immunologic responses induced by this vaccine in susceptible monkeys and children are described. This vaccine will be referred to as "measles vaccine (attenuated)." In a final communication the data obtained by the various investigators collaborating in these studies will be summarized and critically evaluated. Preliminary accounts of the first trial in children have been published.1 , 2 Introduction Numerous attempts have been made to devise an effective and harmless means for the artificial induction in . . .
