We investigated the correlation between in vitro susceptibility of CD3(+) T lymphocytes to equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection and establishment of persistent infection among 14 stallions following natural infections. The data showed that carrier stallions with a CD3(+) T lymphocyte susceptibility phenotype to in vitro EAV infection may be at higher risk of becoming carriers than those that lack this phenotype (P = 0.0002).
我们研究了 14 匹种马自然感染后,CD3(+) T 淋巴细胞对马动脉炎病毒(EAV)感染的体外易感性与持续性感染建立之间的相关性。数据显示,与缺乏这种表型的种马相比,具有体外 EAV 感染 CD3(+) T 淋巴细胞易感性表型的携带种马可能更有成为携带病毒者的风险(P = 0.0002)。
