Abstract: The phrase ‘original antigenic sin’ was first used to describe the antibody response to influenza virus. After an initial infection, reinfection with a different strain of the virus boosted the concentration of antibodies specific for the earlier infecting strain. A new study shows that this is also the case for the response of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
