BOSTON (WHDH) - Harvard Medical School is conducting a new study of the measles virus.

Researchers are focused on the fact that the virus can destroy infection-fighting proteins called antibodies.

This means the virus can erase the body’s ability to fight off infections it was once immune to and make the body susceptible to other diseases.
