Abstract
The classes of immunoglobulin-containing cells in the lungs of mice after primary infection with Sendai virus were studied using an indirect immunofluorescence technique. It was found that during the first 5 days of the infection there was a considerable increase in all classes of immunoglobulin-containing cells with the IgA-containing cells retaining their pre-infection predominance. By the 6th day of the infection both IgG and IgA cells were present in equal numbers. This 1:1 ratio persisted for nearly 30 days and was followed by a gradual reversion to IgA excess. IgM-containing cells represented only 1/15–1/30 of all immunoglobulin-containing cells at any time during the infection.
