Native Measles Virus preparation contains a high concentration of virus and viral components. The preparation also contains some cellular material suspended in tissue culture medium.

The Measles virus is a highly contagious single-stranded RNA virus that is mostly spread via the respiratory system. It may be passed via aerosol droplets from coughs or through contact with infected bodily fluids. It causes measles, a disease characterised by fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash. Most patients with uncomplicated measles will recover without antiviral treatment, however, some patients may develop diarrhoea, corneal ulceration, pneumonia or encephalitis. Complications are more likely in adults. In developed countries, most children are immunised against measles by the age of 18 months, as part of the three-part MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine.

Product Notes

The MEASLES VIRUS (Catalog #AAA12309) is an Antigen and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's MEASLES VIRUS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular techinque this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own systmen using appropriate negative/positive controls. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEASLES VIRUS for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEASLES VIRUS, Antigen" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
