RESUMO

Neonatal administration of 16 mg of cyclophosphamide in inbred chickens resulted in a transient, but profound, deficiency in the in vitro proliferative response of spleen cells. Functional T-cell deficiency was accompanied by a marked morphological degeneration in the thymus and thymus-dependent areas in the spleen.
