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.
来自未致死性感染巨细胞病毒（MCMV）的断奶和成年DBA/2小鼠的脾细胞对刀豆蛋白A（Con A）刺激的反应减弱。相比之下，只有致死性MCMV感染与Con A反应的完全抑制有关。即使在断奶和成年小鼠的无症状感染中，对绵羊红细胞（SRBC）的免疫反应也受到抑制。发现在生命的第四周期间，对MCMV感染致死效应的抵抗力有显著成熟。
