| pubmed-article:11325469 | pubmed:abstractText | The secretory glycoprotein (Gs) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was enriched and investigated for its effects on T cells specific for RSV and unrelated antigens. Gs exhibited a dose dependent suppression of lymphoproliferative responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), specific for mycobacterial lysates or tetanus toxoid. However, Gs did not inhibit live RSV specific T cell responses. These results suggest that Gs may suppress immune response to unrelated antigens, but should not interfere with the overall development of RSV specific immunity. | lld:pubmed |
