Mice may be protected from the invariably fatal consequences of intracerebral [IC] inoculation of A/WSN influenza virus by i.v. injection with 0.5 mg of virus-specific monoclonal anti-hemagglutinin antibody given 2 days after IC challenge. The integrity of the blood-CSF barrier in such mice was examined by comparing specific Ig titers in serum and CSF. The process of virus growth evidently results directly in substantial breakdown of the blood-CSF barrier at some time between 63-96 h after IC exposure to virus. The exogenously administered, virus-specific monoclonal antibody is not obviously involved either in abrogating the integrity of this physiological barrier system or in promoting inflammation. In fact, higher Ig titers are found in CSF for an antibody that does not bind to the virus. Virus-infected cells in the CNS probably are adsorbing specific Ig from the CSF.
