pubmed:abstractText
Immune response to primary intraperitoneal infection with vaccinia virus (strain IHD-J) was studied in C3H/Hej mice. Antibodies reactive with virus structural proteins were detected 6 days and neutralizing antibodies 8 days after infection. Although serum antibodies from infected mice bound to vaccinia virus infected cells, these antibodies were ineffective in complement mediated lysis of infected cells and were only moderately active in experiments with antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Immunoblotting analysis showed that serum antibody reacted with a number of structural proteins of both intracellular and extracellular forms of vaccinia virus. Immunoprecipitation results showed antibody binding of nonstructural proteins and glycoproteins. Correlation of the kinetics of NK and CTL activities in infected mice with neutralizing antibodies indicated that the cellular functions clearly precede the appearance of serum neutralizing antibody. The resolution of primary infection in mice thus appears to be mediated by functions of cellular immunity while resistance to reinfection may be dependent on circulating neutralizing antibody.
