Effect of visceral leishmaniasis on congenitally athymic mice
Infection and Immunity
|September 1, 1979
Abstract:
Congenitally athymic mice were more susceptible to challenge with amastigotes of Leishmania donovani than were their thymus-intact littermates. This increased susceptibility correlated with a lack of Arthus and delayed-type responses when animals were skin tested with leishmanial antigen.
