PVM causes more severe disease in BALB/c than in C57BL/6 neonates.
BALB/c neonates develop a stronger inflammatory response to PVM than C57Bl/6 neonates.
BALB/c neonates have more IgA in the lungs than C57BL/6 neonates after PVM infection.
After re-infection as elderly, BALB/c but not C57Bl/6 mice are protected from PVM.
Re-infected elderly BALB/c mice develop high neutralizing antibodies.
