  • Title: [Mechanism of tolerance to VI-antigen of Salmonella typhi induced by cyclophosphane].
    Author: Prigozhina TB, Fontalin LN.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1977 Apr; 83(4):440-3. PubMed ID: 558024.
    Abstract:
    High dose Vi-antigen treatment and injection of cyclophosphamide 46 to 48 hours later induced in mice a state of immunological unresponsiveness remaining stable in adoptive transfer. Only low amounts of the antigen were revealed in the blood and spleen of tolerant animals 2 to 3 weeks after the tolerogenic treatment. No T-suppressors were found in the spleen of tolerant mice--the cells of tolerant mice failed to suppress the immune response of normal lymphocytes when transferred together to the irradiated recipients, or to induce tolerance in normal mice. Normal spleen cells restored partially the immune responsiveness in tolerant animals. The results obtained suggest that cyclophosphamide tolerance was due to deletion or the long-term inactivation of the immunocompetent cells.
