Suggests late maturation block in measles latency; hypothesis-generating for persistent infection but should not change clinical practice.
Measles virus latency in hamster cells appears to involve a block at a late step in virus replication, likely concerning maturation at the cell membrane.
Knight et al. (1972) studied this question.
