Quantitation of Immunoglobulin-Bearing Lymphocytes and Lymphocyte Response to Mitogens in Horses Persistently Infected by Equine Infectious Anemia Virus

PMCID: PMC422911  PMID: 4582640

Abstract

A defect in lymphocyte function could be responsible for persistent infection by the equine infectious anemia virus. The number of lymphocytes bearing surface immunoglobulin, as detected by immunofluorescence, and lymphocyte response to mitogens were the same in uninfected and equine infectious anemia-infected animals. A defect in T or B lymphocyte numbers or ability to respond to stimuli was not detected in this chronic virus disease.
