Hemagglutinin and fusion proteins precede measles virus ribonucleoproteins and marshal cell-to-cell spread in airway epithelium

ABSTRACT Measles virus (MeV) is the most contagious human respiratory pathogen. To understand how it spreads in the airways, we infected well-differentiated primary cultures of human airway epithelial cells (HAE). We discovered that the MeV attachment protein (hemagglutinin, H),...
