This document provides methods and materials for making and using measles viruses having a reduced susceptibility to antibody neutralization (e.g., antibody neutralization by monoclonal anti-measles virus antibodies and/or serum from measles virus vaccinees). For example, H polypeptides having a reduced ability of being recognized by anti-measles virus antibodies that were generated against a wild-type measles virus or a pre-existing measles virus vaccine such as MV-Edm as compared to a wild-type measles virus H polypeptide or the H polypeptide of MV-Edm are provided.

Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials for using live transgenic non-human animals (e.g., non-human mammals) to perform radiotracer imaging to monitor pathological processes, disease progression, or therapeutic responses in vivo over time. For example, methods and materials for using live transgenic non-human animals (e.g., non-human mammals) having somatic and germline cells that include nucleic acid (e.g., a transgene) having a promoter sequence operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a NIS polypeptide to perform radiotracer imaging to monitor pathological processes, disease progression, or therapeutic responses in vivo over time are provided.

- Rochester MN, US Kah-Whye Peng - Rochester MN, US Patrycja Lech - Rochester MN, US
International Classification:
C07K 14/47 A61K 51/00
Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials involved in radiotracer imaging using NIS polypeptides. For example, methods and materials for performing imaging techniques that increase the detection sensitivity and resolution of radiotracers localized by NIS reporter gene expression and/or decrease background signals that can be attributed to endogenously expressed NIS polypeptides are provided.
