The role of innate, alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta)-dependent protection versus specific antibody-mediated protection against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) was evaluated in IFN-alpha/beta receptor-deficient mice (IFN-alpha/beta R0/0 mice). VSV is a close relative to rabies virus that causes neurological disease in mice. In contrast to normal mice, IFN-alpha/beta R0/0 mice were highly susceptible to infection with VSV because of ubiquitous high viral replication. Adoptive transfer experiments showed that neutralizing antibodies against the glycoprotein of VSV (VSV-G) protected these mice efficiently against systemic infection and against peripheral subcutaneous infection but protected only to a limited degree against intranasal infection with VSV. In contrast, VSV-specific T cells or antibodies specific for the nucleoprotein of VSV (VSV-N) were unable to protect IFN-alpha/beta R0/0 mice against VSV. These results demonstrate that mice are extremely sensitive to VSV if IFN-alpha/beta is not functional and that under these conditions, neutralizing antibody responses mediate efficient protection, but apparently only against extraneuronal infection.
