Induced immunogen synthesis in cell culture. Immunization of mice led to anti-immunogen high-titre antibody production (higher levels than those in sera of convalescent patients). Antibody-dependent enhancement was not observed. For the N-antigen, CD4+ but not CD8+ T-cell response was detected in BALB/c mice.
