Step 9: Results Key Points

Progress: checking...

  • Researchers measured the change in antibody diversity in response to measles infection, vaccination, and normal changes.
  • Kids who were infected with measles had a decrease in antibody diversity (shows the impact of infection).
  • Kids who were not vaccinated and did not get infected had no change in antibody diversity (negative control group – allows for a comparison with infected kids).
  • Kids who were vaccinated had an increase in antibody diversity (shows the impact of vaccination).
  • Three control groups also showed no change in antibody diversity (shows natural change over time).
  • Infected monkeys also showed a decrease in antibody diversity.
