Study of the mechanism of innate resistance to virus infection

The concept of genetically-determined natural resistance was explored in two mouse strains of different genetic origin exposed to West Nile encephalitis virus and yellow fever virus. The inheritance of virus resistance was studied by the cross-breeding of virus-resistant male mice with virus-suscept...

Zusammenfassung:The concept of genetically-determined natural resistance was explored in two mouse strains of different genetic origin exposed to West Nile encephalitis virus and yellow fever virus. The inheritance of virus resistance was studied by the cross-breeding of virus-resistant male mice with virus-susceptible mice of the other strain. Data are tabulated and results are discussed. The mechanism of natural resistance appeared to be expressed at the cellular level in a cell type described as the macrophage.
