Effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis BCG infection on the resistance of mice to ectromelia virus infection: participation of interferon in enhanced resistance.

Mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis BCG were more resistant than normal mice to ectromelia virus infection. It is suggested that enhanced interferon production in peritoneal exudate cells and spleen cells of BCG-infected mice plays an important role in this resistance.
