Host defenses in murine malaria: failure of vaccination with formolized blood parasites to protect athymic mice from Plasmodium berghei.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The thymus dependency of immunity to erythrocytic Plasmodium berghei (NYU-2) infection generated in response to injections of Formalin-killed mixed blood parasites was shown by the demonstration that the vaccine protected immunologically intact nu/+ mice, but not their athymic nu/nu littermates.
