Abstract

SUMMARY

Brain biopsies from three children with SSPE were examined by indirect immuno-fluorescence for the presence of measles antigen, and were then serially co-cultivated with measles-sensitive tissue-culture cells. Examination of the tissue cultures by either immuno-fluorescence or haemadsorption proved to be more reliable for diagnosis than the direct examination of the biopsy material.
