Abstract
Rabbits were immunized with vaccinia-soluble early antigen (Es antigen) in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Circulating neutralizing antibody was not induced, but CF antibody against the soluble antigens of vaccinia-infected cells was induced. By intradermal inoculation of vaccinia virus, erythema developed early at the site of inoculation and enlarged up to 3 days post infection (p.i.). No multiplication of the viruses in the erythematous areas was indicated on day 3 p.i. The erythematous areas showed histologically severe changes involving infiltration of numerous cells accompanied with necrotic and hemorrhagic lesions in a part of the dermis. Eosinophilic leukocytes were dominant and there were also some lymphocytes in the cell infiltration. The role of these kinds of cells was discussed in connection with cell-mediated immunity in the mechanism of excluding vaccinia virus from the immune rabbits.
