Abstract

Infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) in rodents, the primary host, is known to cause suppression of cell-mediated immunity. Serial determinations using a functional cell-mediated immune assay in a kidney transplant recipient with donor-transmitted LCMV also suggested profound suppression of cellular immunity. This suppression persisted in spite of reduction of immunosuppression. With the clearance of the virus there was reconstitution of the cellular immune response.
