Host Defenses Against Influenza Virus: The Role of Anti-Hemagglutinin Antibody

Virelizier, Jean-Louis·1975·The Journal of Immunology

Abstract

In CBA mice the protection provided by transferred immune spleen cells or by antibody has been investigated in immunologically intact, cyclophosphamide-treated and thymus-deprived animals infected with A/PR8 virus. The degree of protection was more closely related to serum antibody levels than to the presence of immune lymphocytes in recipients. Comparison of the protective efficiency of various anti-influenza antisera with different specificities within an influenza A subtype indicated that antibodies recognizing the strain-specific determinants of the influenza hemagglutinin have an important role in protection. Physiologic amounts of transferred antibodies were shown to protect immunodepressed mice, suggesting that, provided a sufficient amount of specific antibodies is secreted, the participation of effectors of cell-mediated immunity is not essential. However, our results suggest that thymusderived lymphocytes have an indirect role in protection by enhancing, through their helper effect, the secretion of anti-influenza antibodies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
