title: Highly attenuated poxviruses induce functional priming of neutrophils in vitro.
abstract: Highly attenuated poxvirus samples were used to examine the influence of potential poxvirus expression vector systems on neutrophil function. Exposure to the viruses alters the number of membrane bound complement-and Fc gamma-receptors and led to functional priming of neutrophils to subsequent stimuli.
