Mice homozygous for the beige gene (bg/bg) are a homologue of the Chédiak-Higashi
syndrome of man and are known to be selectively defective in natural killer (NK) cells. We …

Cytotoxic activity attributable to natural killer (NK) cells was augmented in the spleens of
mice infected with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). Stimulation was observed as early as …

Both in vitro and in vivo murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection depressed the responses
of lymphocytes to both B and T cell mitogens. The possibilities that macrophages or …

The effect of natural killer (NK) cells on the course of acute and persistent murine
cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection was examined by selectively depleting NK cell activity by …

The role of macrophages in protecting mice from murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) was
studied in Swiss, CBA/J, and C57BL/6J mice. CBA/J mice were more resistant to virus than …

Congenitally athymic nude (Nu/Nu) mice inoculated intraperitoneally with murine
cytomegalovirus (MCMV), in doses as low as 1.3 X 10 (1) plaque-forming units succumbed …

The role of antibodies as mediators of genetically determined resistance to murine
cytomegalovirus (MCMV) in mice has not been elucidated. The ability of mice with different …

We have characterized the progress of acute murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection in
the spleen, liver, and salivary gland of susceptible (BALB/c) and resistant (C3H) strains of …

Cytotoxic lymphocytes were generated in vitro against murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-
infected cells by incubation with ultraviolet light-irradiated, infected fibroblasts. When …

Genetically determined resistance to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) in mice is controlled
by both H2 and non-H2 genes. We have identified a phenotypically-defined, autosomal …
