Abstract
The neurovirulent strain of vaccinia virus, VV-WR, or recombinants derived from VV-WR, cause highly productive infection of murine ovaries, but infection could be partially inhibited in vivo using an antiserum to asialo-GM1 (as-GM1). In vitro analysis by flow cytometry revealed that murine ovarian cells expressed a cell surface antigen identical to or cross-reactive with as-GM1. The capacity of VV-WR to infect murine ovaries appears to depend in part upon as-GM1 expression on ovarian cells.Entities:
