RESUMO
The testicular fluid and serum from rabbits infected intratesticularly with Treponema pallidum inhibited the mitogenic response of normal rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes to concanavalin A. Mucopolysaccharide material present in the testicular fluid and serum was associated with the lymphocyte-inhibitory activity. Degradation of the mucopolysaccharide material with hyaluronidase resulted in the loss of the inhibitory activity of testicular fluid and serum of T. pallidu-infected rabbits.
