Abstract:
Injection with Friend virus (FV) causes immunosuppression in young and old C57BL/6 mice, i.e. it occurs whether or not the virus replicates very briefly or for a long period. There are only minor age-related differences in the extent of immunosuppression, except that suppression appears to persist somewhat longer in old than in young animals.
