Results are presented on tests carried out over the past 5 years to measure the antibody titre of various rabbit populations to a soluble antigen of myxoma virus. In an unexpectedly high percentage of immune rabbits the antibody fell below measurable titres, and later rose to measurable titres without the advent of an observable epizootic of myxomatosis. The re-stimulation of the immune response is discussed in terms of re-infection and virus reactivation.
本文展示了过去5年中为测量不同兔群针对黏液瘤病毒可溶性抗原的抗体滴度而进行的测试结果。在免疫兔中,抗体降至可测滴度以下的比例出奇地高,随后在没有明显黏液瘤病流行的情况下又升至可测滴度。本文从再次感染和病毒再激活的角度讨论了免疫反应的再次刺激。
