Abstract

Intramuscular sensitization of hamsters with several forms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSv) caused proliferation of lung epithelium. In contrast, intranasal injection of live virus rarely resulted in this phenomenon. A correlation existed between proliferation of lung epithelium and presence of complement-fixing antibody, but not between lung disease and delayed skin reactions. Complement-fixing antibody to RSv was found to be independent of the influence of the thymus.
