Human Immune Responses to Measles Virus: A Literature Review

Balid Albarbar.


Abstract
Measles disease is caused by the measles virus (MV), is a highly contagious viral infection that mainly affects children. Measles disease is one of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), despite the availability of an effective vaccine, measles remains a significant public health concern globally.
Understanding the immune responses to the measles virus is very important for the development of improved vaccines and therapeutic strategies. The aim of the current study is to summarize current knowledge on the innate and adaptive immune responses to measles infection, including the role of various immune system components; cells, cytokines, and antibodies. In addition to that, the paper discusses the immunological memory generated following measles infection or vaccination and its implications for long-term protection.

Key words: measles virus, immune system, innate immune response, adaptive immune response
