[Decrease in stimulation and allogeneic response following experimental infection of mice with human adenovirus 5].
15 days after experimental infection with human adenovirus 5, C57 Bl/6 murine spleen cells were found to have altered in vitro properties. Proliferative response to phytohemagglutinine was slightly increased while the allogeneic response was decreased and the capability to stimulate allogeneic cells was significantly diminished. The degree of expression of surface antigens responsible for allogeneic stimulation is influenced by many regulatory factors, still poorly defined; alteration of some factors of antigenicity may result, directly or indirectly, from certain viral infections.
