title: [Protective effect of cellular immunity in experimental Flavivirus infections].
abstract: Experiments were conducted with the tick-borne encephalitis (TE) virus; confirmation of a protective action of cellular immunity in mice was obtained. Administration of sensitized splenocytes to the animals together with the virus was accompanied with an increase of their mean survival or with the reduction of mortality in comparison with control animals given nonimmune or destroyed cells. The protective action of the effector cells was not connected with the intensification of antibody formation in the recipients. A high specificity of cellular immunity was noted in experimental flaviviral infections. The presence of common antigens in the TE and Langat viruses was revealed with the acid of cross splenocyte migration inhibition test (CSMRT). There was also revealed a difference of these viruses from the viruses of yellow fever, Dengue type 2, or Sindbis. The results of studying of the specificity of cellular immunity in the CSMRT found confirmation in experiments with adoptive transfer of splenocytes. Cross protection was caused only by splenocytes sensitized to the TE and Langat viruses.
