Title: Nonsterilizing immunity in avian malaria: an antibody-independent phenomenon. Author: Rank RG, Weidanz WP, Bondi A. Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1976 Feb; 151(2):257-9. PubMed ID: 1082596. Abstract: Agammaglobulinemic chickens died with fulminating parasitemias following infection with P. gallinaceum. When rescued from otherwise fatal infection by means of chloroquine therapy, B-cell deficient chickens resisted challenge infection with the same parasite. The data suggest that nonsterilizing immunity to malaria in chickens is B-cell independent.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
