RESTORATION OF THE PRIMARY IMMUNE RESPONSE AND PREVENTION OF WASTING BY PREGNANCY IN NEONATALLY THYMECTOMIZED FEMALE RATS
- K Borum (University of Arizona)
Abstract
Pregnancy restored the impaired immune capacity of neonatally thymectomized rats towards normalcy, as measured by the serum haemolysin response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Pregnancy also prevented the development of the wasting syndrome in these animals. The beneficial effect of one pregnancy lasted at least five months.
