Until recently there were no published reports of any immunological mechanism which could curtail the replication of African swine fever virus (ASFV). We have now described three such mechanisms--complement dependent lysis, antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. This paper discusses the likely role which each might play during ASFV infection and indicates where this research might help with a disease where no effective vaccine is available.
