title: Antiviral activity of Bordetella pertussis vaccine-elicited peritoneal exudate cells.
abstract: Peritoneal exudate cells collected from mice 7 days after treatment with Bordetella pertussis vaccine exhibited significant in vitro antiviral activity against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Vaccine-induced peritoneal exudate cells exhibited both intrinsic and extrinsic antiviral activity in culture with target VSV-infected L cells. Virus replication was poor in the vaccine-induced exudate cells. Coculture of vaccine-induced exudate cells and VSV-infected L cell targets decreased virus yield. The activity appeared specific for infected cells and at least a portion of the antiviral activity was directed against the initial infection cycle. Nonadherent vaccine-induced exudate cells showed an increase in antiviral activity over total vaccine-induced exudate cells.
