Cross reactions among flaviviruses in macrophage migration inhibition assay.
Adult Swiss albino mice were immunized intravenously with flaviviviruses. Cellular immune response was studied by macrophage migration inhibition assay. Migration of cells from sensitized mice was significantly inhibited in the presence of homologous virus or antigen. Migration inhibition was also significant with serologically related viruses, thus establishing cross reaction in cellular immune response.
