title: Comparison of lung virus titers in susceptible and resistant inbred mouse strains against Sendai virus infection.
abstract: Susceptibility of inbred mouse strains to Sendai virus (Mol strain) infection was studied. Although some mouse strains showed age differences in susceptibility between 3-to 4-week-old and 7-to 8-week-old mice, such age differences in susceptibility were not observed in susceptible DBA/2N and resistant BALB/cA mice. In 7-to 8-week-old mice, remarkable strain differences were observed in mortality and intensity of the lung lesions, but not in lung virus titers and serum antibody, between resistant BALB/cA and susceptible DBA/2N mice.
