title: [Immune response to tetanus toxoid in mice receiving protein deficient diet immediately after weaning].
abstract: The humoral immune response to tetanus toxoid is evaluated by passive haemagglutination test in mice receiving low diet immediately after weaning during 15 and 30 days. The results show that the more deficient mice give the best antitoxin titers but after the challenge the antibody immune response become proportional to the protein restriction. In other respects and antitoxin titers are higher in 30 days restricted mice than in 15 days deficient ones. The effect of Bordetella pertussis adjuvant on the immune response of protein deficient mice seems nul. These results are discussed.
