Cytotoxic T-cell response to respiratory syncytial virus in mice.
The role of the humoral and cellular arms of the immune response in protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and in the pathogenesis of the severe forms of this disease is poorly understood. The recent demonstration that some inbred mouse strains can be infected with RSV has opened the way to a detailed investigation of RSV immunity. We report here the finding of major his...
متن کاملHelper T cell recognition of respiratory syncytial virus in mice.
In this study we aimed to define the protein and viral subtype specificities of helper Th cells to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). BALB/c mice were primed by infection with RSV, or with vaccinia viruses (VV) containing genes encoding several individual RSV proteins. Priming for Th cell memory was assayed by stimulating spleen cells in vitro with different RSV isolates and measuring RSV-speci...
متن کاملCytotoxic T cells clear virus but augment lung pathology in mice infected with respiratory syncytial virus
We have examined the function of class I MHC-restricted cytotoxic T cells in experimental respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection of BALB/c mice by transfer of T cell line MJC-A2 and CTL clone E8a into RSV-infected mice. The T cell line cleared pulmonary RSV infection within 5 d in persistently infected gamma-irradiated mice, but caused acute respiratory disease. This was only seen in infec...
متن کاملHLA class I-restricted cytotoxic T-cell epitopes of the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein.
Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a major role in the clearance of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. We have generated cytotoxic T-cell clones (TCC) from two infants who had just recovered from severe RSV infection. These TCC were functionally characterized and used to identify HLA class I (B57 and C12)-restricted CTL epitopes of RSV.
متن کاملImmune response to respiratory syncytial virus in young Brazilian children.
We have evaluated the cellular and humoral immune response to primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in young infants. Serum specimens from 65 patients <=12 months of age (39 males and 26 females, 28 cases <3 months and 37 cases > or = 3 months; median 3 3.9 months) were tested for anti-RSV IgG and IgG subclass antibodies by EIA. Flow cytometry was used to characterize cell surface...
