Abstract
The immunosuppressive effect of lindane was assessed in weanling rats over a period of 5 weeks. Agglutinin titres against S. typhi ‘O’ and ‘H’, S. paratyphi ‘AH’ and ‘BR’ antigens were determined following TAB vaccination in control and lindane‐fed animals. The titres attained in non‐treated controls were higher significantly than those in treated animals indicating a suppressive effect of lindane on humoral immune responses.Keywords
