Abstract
Mesenteric lymph node cells obtained from guinea-pigs immunized with Trichostrongylus colubriformis have been transferred allogeneically (McMaster outbred to Heston inbred) and syngeneically (Heston to Heston inbred) by intravenous injection. The immune cells were transferred on days 6, 7 and 8 of infection when the parasite was in the susceptible fourth stage of development. The syngeneically transferred cells caused rejection of the parasite but the allogeneically transferred cells were not effective.
