A neutralizing monoclonal antibody (C26-15) against the haemagglutinin (H protein) of measles virus was generated which caused cell-cell fusion inhibition in cultures of measles virus-infected cells. It was shown that this phenomenon coincided with a down-regulation of the expression of both the H protein and the fusion (F) protein. We also showed cell-cell fusion inhibition with a polyclonal rabbit serum directed against Tween-ether inactivated measles virus, which did not contain biologically active antibodies against the F protein. Cell-cell fusion inhibition caused by anti-H antibodies is distinct from cell-cell fusion inhibition induced by a direct interaction of anti-F antibody with the F protein in the membrane of infected cells. Since both mechanisms may also be involved in the in vivo situation, the exclusive role for the generation of anti-F antibody to prevent virus spread by cell-cell fusion in vivo is questioned. It is speculated that the observed down-regulation of both glycoproteins may lead to a less efficient killing of infected cells by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, which may constitute an alternative explanation for the insufficient protection after vaccination with an inactivated measles vaccine.

D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
