Abstract
Peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from rabbits in the early stages of Treponema pallidum infection responded poorly when exposed to concanavalin A in vitro. Maximal depression of blastogenesis occurred when lymphocytes were cultured in the presence of autologous serum in comparison with fetal calf or normal homologous rabbit serum.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
