Measles virus infection of human keratinocytes: Possible link between measles and atopic dermatitis

Altogether, these results clearly demonstrate that keratinocytes are susceptible to MV infection, which could consequently modulate their cytokine production, resulting with a beneficial effect in the progression of AD. This study provides thus a proof of concept for the vaccination therapy in AD and may open new avenues for the development of novel strategies in the treatment of this allergic disease.
