The effects of i.p. administration in mice of a rabbit antiserum specific for thymic epithelial cells on T-dependent cellular immune response has been studied. As measure of T-dependent cellular immune response were taken: 1) a delayed type hypersensitivity test based on the swelling of footpad following SRBC injection in immunized mice; 2) a graft-versus-host assay valuated by splenomegaly induced in newborn mice after donors mice spleen cells i.p. injection. Both assays showed a significant reduction of cellular T-dependent immune response. The cinetic of this effect is in accord with ultrastructural changes in mice thymus, following the same treatment, previously observed.

Abstract

The effects of i.p. administration in mice of a rabbit antiserum specific for thymic epithelial cells on T-dependent cellular immune response has been studied. As measure of T-dependent cellular immune response were taken: 1) a delayed type hypersensitivity test based on the swelling of footpad following SRBC injection in immunized mice; 2) a graft-versus-host assay valuated by splenomegaly induced in newborn mice after donors mice spleen cells i.p. injection. Both assays showed a significant reduction of cellular T-dependent immune response. The cinetic of this effect is in accord with ultrastructural changes in mice thymus, following the same treatment, previously observed.
