Callithrix jacchus marmosets were inoculated by different routes with two stocks of Tacaribe virus, one from suckling mouse brain and another from human diploid MRC5 cells. All 12 primates inoculated by nasal route developed neutralizing serum antibodies without any clinical signs. All 6 primates receiving the mouse brain-Tacaribe virus were protected against lethal challenge with pathogenic XJ strain of Junin virus, while protection was also conferred in 4 out of 6 primates receiving the diploid cell-Tacaribe virus stock. Intramuscular (i.m.) inoculation also elicited antibodies and conferred protection to 4 primates receiving the diploid cell-virus stock. Intrathalamic (i.t.) inoculation of mouse brain-virus stock caused no clinical signs or histopathologic changes in groups of 3 primates each examined on days 33 and 90 post-infection (p.i.). All primates developed antibody response, but no virus could be detected in their brain. Thus, Tacaribe virus proved harmless and immunogenic in Callithrix jacchus and protected most marmosets against challenge with the lethal XJ strain of Junin virus. |
