TABLE 1.
Infectious agent | No. of CTL-positiveb mice/total no. tested for:
|
|
---|---|---|
AA41 (KkDd) cells | D1B (KdDd) cells | |
FV-B | 0/8 | 0/8 |
FV-N | 10/22 | 9/22 |
H-2a/a mice [(B10.A × A/WySn)F1] were infected with 100 SFFU of FV-B or FV-N. At 14 to 21 days postinfection, spleen cells were used in a direct CTL assay with 51Cr-labelled target cells at a ratio of 200:1 (spleen cells/target cells). Assay mixtures were incubated for 19 h at 34°C (D1B target cells) or for 5 h at 37°C (AA41 target cells) as previously described (6). No lysis was observed when Y57-2C (H-2b) FV-transformed cells were used as targets for these H-2a/a mice in a 5-h, 37°C assay.
CTL responses were determined for AA41 and D1B target cells. See reference 6 for details.
