## Abstract The present investigation was done to determine whether measles enzyme immune assay (EIA) absorbency values were lower in women born in the vaccine era after 1963 and their infants in an upstate New York metropolitan area, an area of low measles incidence during the past 10 years compar

β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
Measles virus specific antibody levels were measured in infants from 2 to 12 months of age. The sera were tested by hemagglutinationβinhibition (HI), neutralization (NT), and enzyme immunoasβsay (EIA) methods. The results of this study indicate that in the population examined, infants at an early age have very low or no immunity of maternal origin to measles virusβ93% of the infants were without detectable neutralizing antibody (NT liter β€10) at 6 months of age, and by the end of the first year of life 100% had no neutralizing antibody.

## Abstract Infection and reinfection of infants with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) occur despite the presence of serum antiβviral glycoprotein antibodies similar to those, which afford protection in animal models of infection. Antigenic variation of the viral glycoproteins between diffe
The Occurrence of measles virus-specific IgM antibodies in sera from patients with chronic active hepatitis not caused by Hepatitis B virus was examined by a specific enzyme-linked imrnunosorbent assay (ELISA). Using whole serum, specific IgM antibodies were detected in 12 of 23 sera from patients w
