Abstract
Using the indirect hemadsorption test it was shown that cultured diploid cells of mini-pig, monkey or human aortic origin develop wheat germ lectin/WGA/binding capacity following infection with measles virus. Heteroploid cell lines of similar origin have bound WGA also without being infected with virus. The possible role of virus induced membrane changes in vascular cell pathology is suggested by the results presented.
