Depression of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses by coxsackieviruses in mice.
Adult mice infected with coxsackieviruses A-15, B-1, B-2, B-4 and B-6 showed depressed antibody responses to unrelated antigens; mice infected with coxsackievirus B-3 developed reduced humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. These findings might have clinical and epidemiological implications.
