Measles virus-induced immune suppression in the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) model depends on viral glycoproteins

Immune suppression during measles accounts for most of the morbidity and mortality associated with the virus infection. Experimental study of this phenomenon has been hampered by the lack of a suitable animal model. We have used the cotton rat to demonstrate that mitogen-induced proliferation of spl...
