Abstract
The development of a cell-mediated immune response to Sendai virus infection in mice was examined by the use of a 51Cr release assay of cytotoxicity. A low level of "background cytotoxicity" to Sendai virus-infected L cells was found in the spleens of uninfected CBA mice. Spleen cells from Sendai-infected mice showed an elevated level of cytotoxicity against these target cells for a period of 5 weeks, commencing 4 days after infection of the mice. A more transient response was observed in the spleens of mice infected with a serologically distinct virus, the Kunz strain of influenza. This cross-reacting, cell-mediated immune response was intermediate between that observed in unsensitized and Sendai-sensitized spleen cells. The relevance of these cell-mediated immune responses to respiratory tract virus infections is discussed.
