RESUMO

The humoral response to influenza A/PR8 virus was examined in the CBA/N and C3J.xid strains of mice, both of which bear an X-linked genetic defect (xid), and in strains lacking this defect. Hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody titers and measurement of virus-specific antibodies by solid-phase radioimmunoassay indicated that the xid defect does not impair the production of an adequate anti-influenza antibody response. However, investigation of the isotypes of PR8 virus-specific antibodies disclosed a relative decrease in the levels of IgG3 and IgG1 in the xid-bearing strains. This was observed after both intraperitoneal immunization and aerosol infection. The isotype differences were not reflected in the susceptibility of these strains to influenza virus infection.
