The protective effects of the passive administration of convalescent serum from mice infected with Sendai virus were evaluated in mice challenged intranasally with wild-type and a pantropic variant (F1-R) of Sendai virus. Adoptive transfer of the serum efficiently prevented F1-R from infecting the systemic organs, but it failed to protect the mice from infections of the respiratory tracts by either virus. Virus replication in nasal turbinates was not diminished while infection in the lung was suppressed sufficiently for the infected mice to survive the infection. These findings suggest that serum antibody is less effective for the protection against viral infections on the surface of the respiratory tract, but it is effective for inhibition of spread of the virus into the systemic organs.
