A vaccinia virus recombinant containing the measles virus nucleoprotein gene was shown to induce the synthesis of a 60 kDa phosphorylated nucleoprotein similar to authentic measles virus nucleoprotein. Mammalian or avian cells infected with the recombinant virus displayed tubular structures reminiscent of viral nucleocapsids both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Such structures could be labelled in situ by using an immunogold detection method specific for measles virus proteins. Electron microscopic examination of tubular structures purified from cells infected with the vaccinia virus recombinant indicated that they displayed most of the features of measles virus nucleocapsids, although their length was on the average shorter. These results demonstrate the spontaneous assembly of measles virus nucleocapsids in the absence of viral leader RNA and provide a means for a detailed molecular analysis of the requirements for nucleocapsid assembly. Furthermore, these findings raise the possibility of achieving complete assembly of measles virus particles, devoid of infectious RNA, by using a vaccinia virus vector.
