Abstract
The results reported here essentially replicate the findings of Ader and Cohen. The saccharin [conditioned stimulus (CS)] exposures in conditioned animals [rats] have a clear immunosuppressive effect [lowered antibody production] when 2 exposures occur. The major difference between the findings and those of Ader and Cohen is that an increase in immunosuppression only after 2 exposures to the CS, while Ader and Cohen found significant changes after 1 exposure.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
