The live varicella vaccine has been recommended for use in immunocompromised subjects and in adults who are susceptible to chickenpox. However, we do not know how humoral and cell-mediated immune responses induced after vaccination differed from those obtained after natural infection. To answer this
African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) were immunized with three intramuscular injections of gpI, gpII, or gpIII glycoprotein antigens of varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Antibody responses to VZV were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to simian varicella virus (SVV) b
