This invariably lethal brain disease develops years after acute measles as result of a persistent MV infection. Various rodent models for MV infection of the central nervous system (CNS) have been described in the past, in which the detection of viral antigens is based on histological staining procedures of paraffin embedded brains. Here, the usage of a recombinant MV (MV-EGFP-CAMH) expressing the haemagglutinin (H) of the rodent-adapted MV-strain CAM\/RB and the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is described. In newborn rodents the virus infects neurons and causes an acute lethal encephalitis. From 2\u2005weeks on, when the immune system of the genetically unmodified animal is maturating, intracerebral (i.c.) infection is overcome subclinically, however, a focal persistent infection in groups of neurons remains. The complete brain can be analysed in 50 or 100\u2005\u03bcm slices, and infected autofluorescent cells are readily detected. Seven and 28\u2005days post-infection (p.i.) 86 and 81\u200a% of mice are infected, respectively, and virus persists for more than 50\u2005days\u2005p.i. Intraperitoneal immunization with MV 1\u2005week before infection, but not after infection, protects and prevents persistence. The high percentage of persistence demonstrates that this is a reliable and useful model of a persistent CNS infection in fully immunocompetent mice, which allows the investigation of determinants of the immune system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/vir.0.81838-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,7]],"date-time":"2006-06-07T19:05:09Z","timestamp":1149707109000},"page":"2011-2019","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A mouse model of persistent brain infection with recombinant Measles virus"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Schubert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Virology and Immunobiology, University of W\u00fcrzburg, Versbacher Stra\u00dfe 7, D-97078 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"M\u00f6ller-Ehrlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Virology and Immunobiology, University of W\u00fcrzburg, Versbacher Stra\u00dfe 7, D-97078 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Singethan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Virology and Immunobiology, University of W\u00fcrzburg, Versbacher Stra\u00dfe 7, D-97078 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Wiese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Clinical Neurobiology, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97078 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
