## Abstract Differences in the severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)βinduced lower respiratory disease in infants have been attributed to multiple environmental and genetic factors. To identify the genetic factor(s) influencing RSV susceptibility, we examined RSV infection in eight inbred m

## Abstract Four species of nonhuman primates were inoculated intranasally with 10^3.1^ to 10^3.7^ plaque forming units (pfu) of respiratory syncytial (RS) virus. Adult squirrel monkeys and newborn rhesus monkeys became infected and shed small quantities (peak titer 10^2.0^ pfu/ml of nasopharyngeal
## Abstract __Pseudomonas aeruginosa__ causes opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals and patients ventilated mechanically and is the major pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis, in which it causes chronic infections. Epidemiological, in vitro and animal data suggest a role fo
During the course of 26 respiratory syncytial (RS) virus infections, infected cells in the respiratory tract become coated with immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM), IgA being predominant. Methods are described for detecting both intracellular virus and coating immunoglobulin using a double staining
An assay for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)specific IgG in saliva is described. The assay was used to examine the incidence of RSV infection in schoolchildren 7-10 years old during one RSV season. One hundred and twenty-one volunteer children provided saliva samples in October 1997 and March 1998
## Abstract Children undergoing therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are at increased risk of severe viral respiratory infection, and some find it difficult to terminate virus secretion. This increased severity may result from a defect in the mucosal immune response. To test this hypothe
