Porcine immune responses to African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection.
Immune responses mediating protection against ASFV are poorly understood. Anti-ASFV antibodies may influence the course of the clinical disease but they have never been found to neutralize the virus. Recent developments on cellular defense mechanisms, using swine protection models, and on the induction and role of some cytokines warrant further investigation on these areas.
