ABSTRACT
The demonstration of in vitro lymphocyte responsiveness to common pediatric viruses has previously been fraught with many technical and conceptual problems. Based upon our prior experience in demonstrating cell-associated immunity to mumps, rubella and measles viruses we illustrate our methodology and conceptual framework by documenting in vitro lymphocyte responsiveness to the Varicella-zoster virus, another ubiquitous virus of childhood. We discuss our approach to the problems of reactivity, specificity and reliability in the use of membrane-associated viral antigens.
