we assessed the alterations of viral gene expression occurring during persistent infections by cloning full-length transcripts of measles virus ( mv ) genes from brain autopsies of two subacute sclerosing panencephalitis patients and one measles inclusion body encephalitis ( mibe ) patient . the sequence of these mv genes revealed that , most likely , almost 2 % of the nucleotides were mutated during persistence , and 35 % of these differences resulted in amino acid changes .
