Ten 2- to 4-month-old rabbits were inoculated subcutaneously with bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-infected bovine or sheep cells. By 6 weeks after inoculation all ten rabbits had converted to BLV antibody-positive, and BLV or BLV antigen was detected in lymphocytes from most of the rabbits tested, although there were few antigen-producing cells. Three rabbits showed continuous respiratory symptoms after infection and one died with pneumonia. Humoral immune responses against mouse serum were significantly suppressed in BLV-infected rabbits compared with non-infected control rabbits. The lymphocyte blastogenesis response was also suppressed in BLV-infected rabbits. At the time of necropsy, six rabbits showed pulmonary lesions; however, none of the BLV-infected rabbits had tumors during an observation period of over 1 year.
