Mice neonatally immunosuppressed with anti-mu antiserum failed to produce circulating antibodies to sheep erythrocytes and showed a marked decrease in circulating immunoglobulins. However, when they were intracerebrally infected with Chikungunya virus (a group A togavirus), they showed a mortality rate consistently lower than non-immunosuppressed control mice. Several possible explanations for this finding are discussed.
新生期用抗μ抗血清进行免疫抑制的小鼠未能产生针对绵羊红细胞的循环抗体,且循环免疫球蛋白显著减少。然而,当它们脑内感染基孔肯雅病毒(一种甲群披膜病毒)时,其死亡率始终低于未免疫抑制的对照小鼠。本文讨论了这一发现的几种可能解释。
