Abstract

Vaccinia virus was shown to replicate in the ovaries of normal inbred mice and cause sufficient damage to ovarian follicles to decrease fertility of the mice. The mouse-adapted strain, VV-WR, had a greater affinity for growth in ovaries than the vaccine strains, VV-Elstree, VV-NYBH or VV-Copenhagen. Virus reached the ovaries after intravenous or intraperitoneal inoculation, but not after subcutaneous inoculation in the foot pad. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), when expressed by a recombinant vaccinia virus was able to decrease the titre of virus in the ovaries and prevent infertility. Both non-specific (natural killer cells) and antigen-specific mechanisms were active within the ovaries and may play a role in the IL-2-mediated clearance of vaccinia virus. VSports手机版.
