Peritoneal macrophages in rats with no immunization against rubella virus and inoculted with bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus are prone to suffer from a cytopathogenic effect with formation of inclusion bodies, and lysis, succeeding in reisolating the virus. The resistance of peritoneal macrophages of rats inoculated against rubella virus in nonspecific, since such resistance continues to show when macrophages interact with bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus. The results support evidence that in the Inflammatory process suffered by rubella virus-inoculated rats, a cell immunity develops and macrophages are some of the cells performing the response.
