Correlation of survival from murine cytomegalovirus infection with spleen cell responsiveness to Concanavallin A

J Booss et al. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1975 Jun.

Abstract

Spleen cells from nonlethally MCMV-infected weanling and adult DBA/2 mice had diminished responses to Con A stimulation. In contrast, only lethal MCMV infections were associated with a complete suppression of the Con A response. The immune response to SRBC was depressed even in asymptomatic infections of weanling and adult mice. A marked maturation of resistance to the lethal effects of MCMV infection was found to occur during the fourth week of life.
