Abstract
Immunization of ferrets with a single intramuscular inoculation of killed A2/Hong Kong virus did not induce serum or nasal antibody, and these animals were found to be completely susceptible to subsequent infection with virulent influenza virus A2/Hong Kong/3/68. A similar result was found for ferrets immunized with 2 inoculations of killed virus vaccine given 2 weeks apart. Ferrets immunized with killed A2/Hong Kong virus in conjunction with Bordetella pertussis produced relatively low levels of serum HI antibody to A2/Hong Kong virus; when infected with virulent influenza virus, these ferrets showed a modified reaction, with a less marked febrile reaction than was observed for non-immunized animals.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
