Effect of visceral leishmaniasis on congenitally athymic mice.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

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.
