Passive Protection of the Central Nervous System of Mice Against Viruses that Pursue the Pathway of the Olfactory Nerves After Intranasal Instillation

[摘要] Passive immunization, either natural or artificial, has been shown to protect the central nervous system of mice against infection by intranasally instilled vesicular stomatitis and St. Louis encephalitis viruses. In keeping with what is known to be generally true of immunological phenomena, the efficacy of passive immunity, as demonstrated in these experiments, depends upon the relationship between the quantity of antibody available to the host and the dose of the virus used to test resistance.
