Abstract:
Adult albino mice were challenged intraperi toneally with Type B-1 Coxsackie virus under conditions of acclimatization and nonacclimati zation to 1 C. The results show that exposure of unacclimatized mice to 2 C results in lowered host resistance but that specific immunization is effective in protection under these conditions. Mice acclimatized to 2 C for 40 days have in creased resistance to challenge that is independ ent of specific immunization procedures. The mechanisms involved in protection under these circumstances remain to be explored. Author
