摘要:
The present invention provides nucleic acids encoding consensus hemagglutinin and consensus fusion polypeptides which contain at least one amino acid substitution relative to the Moraten vaccine strain that is found in at least one strain of wild-type measles virus. Nucleic acid reagents useful for detecting and differentiating wild-type measles strains by polymerase chain reaction and a method utilizing the same are provided. Recombinant vectors comprising nucleic acids encoding the consensus hemagglutinin and/or the consensus fusion polypeptides are also provided.
