Abstract Background Measles virus attenuation has been historically performed by adaptation to cell culture. The current dogma is that attenuated virus strains induce more type I IFN and are more resistant to IFN-induced protection than wild type wt . Results The adaptation of a measles virus isolate G954-PBL by 13 passages in Vero cells induced a strong attenuation of this strain in vivo. The adapted virus G954-V13 differs from its parental strain by only 5 amino acids 4 in P V C and 1 in the M gene . While a vaccine strain Edmonston Zagreb could replicate equally well in various primate cells both G954 strains exhibited restriction to the specific cell type used initially for their propagation. Surprisingly we observed that both G954 .
