## Abstract The relationship between serum immunoglobulins and the severity and risk of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection in the institutionalized elderly was prospectively assessed during the winter of 1989β1990 at a 591 bed nursing home. Forty RSV infections were identified out of 149 r

Seven of 230 breast fed infants followed prospectively from birth through their first winter contracted RS virus infections. The colostral from five of the mothers of these infants contained antiviral IgA antibodies. In each case antibody levels were above the mean for a group of 36 mothers whose in
## Abstract In order to investigate the possible role of immunity in lower respiratory tract disease of infants produced by respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, 18 hospitalized infants were tested for cellβmediated immune (CMI) responses in a whole blood culture assay utilizing a gamma emitting tracer
The growth of respiratory syncytial (RS) virus in primary mouse embryo (ME) cells was investigated. The virus yields in ME cells were markedly lower if compared with those in HEp-2 cells, which are fully permissive for RS virus, and a remarkable production of interferon (IFN) was found in the early
