Abstract:
Pneumocystis carinii gp120 can elicit a specific T-cell proliferative response in mice after immunization with a gp120 preparation or with a crude P. carinii homogenate. It can also elicit a proliferative response from SCID mice after recovery from natural infection with P. carinii, implicating this glycoprotein as an important antigen in the host's response to P. carinii infection.
