Mice vaccinated with a vaccinia virus recombinant encoding the fusion protein of Measles virus developed measles neutralizing antibodies. The mice also resisted a normally lethal intracerebral inoculation of a cell-associated measles virus subacute sclerosing panencephalitis strain (Drillien et al., 1988).
