title: Induction of T cell hyporesponsiveness to Bebaru in mice, and abnormalities in the immune responses of progeny of hyporesponsive males.
abstract: Non-specific hyporesponsiveness of cytotoxic T cells to alphaviruses and alloantigens was induced in male mice by multiple, large injections, starting at birth, of gamma-inactivated alphavirus, stock-grown in outbred mouse brains. Offspring of matings between 2 out of 17 treated males and normal females also exhibited significant non-specific hyporesponsiveness (in comparison with normal control mice), without prior exposure to gamma-inactivated alphavirus stock.
