Abstract excerpt
The ability of mice infected with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) to respond to unrelated antigens in vivo was studied in genetically sensitive BALB/c and genetically resistant CBA mice. Suppressed humoral responses were observed following intraperitoneal or intravenous antigen challenge a few days after infection. IgG production was depressed more frequently than IgM. The suppression was correlated with splenic...
