Abstract

Background Hemaglutinin (H) protein of measles virus is very
important in the process of host cell infection. H protein is also
able to induce specific antibodies which can neutralize measles
virus and block the cell infection.
Objective This study aimed to explore the nucleotide and amino
acid sequence differences between wild-type measles virus (G2,
G3 and D9) with CAM-70, Schwarz and Edmonston-wt vaccine
virus.
Methods The exctration and amplification of the gene were
conducted in the laboratory using biomolecular technology. The
gene and protein analysis were conducted using the bioinformatic
technology.
Results The results showed that the differences in nucleotide
sequences were highest between wild-type virus and CAM-70
vaccine virus (76-77 nucleotides), followed by Schwarz (61-64
nucleotides) and Edmonston (60-63 nucleotides). The differences
in amino acid sequences were highest between wild-type virus
and CAM-70 (24-29 residues), followed by Schwarz (13-20
residues) and Edmonston (12-19 residues).
Conclusion The Indonesian wild-type measles virus was genetically
closer to Schwarz vaccine virus than CAM-70 vaccine virus,
hence the neutralizing antibodies generated by Schwarz vaccine
were more specific against Indonesian wild-type virus compared
to CAM-70 vaccine.
