title: [Effect of Mycoplasma arthritidis on mouse and rat lymphoid cells in experimental Mycoplasma infection].
abstract: Early stages of mycoplasma infection of mice and rats were accompanied by suppression of the populations of rosette- and plaque-forming cells. Later the character and dynamics of the immune response to M. arthritidis differed in mice and rats. In mice mycoplasma infection was accompanied by stimulation of rosette-forming cells with some suppression of the plaque-forming cells from the 7th to the 36th day of infection. In rats by the 7th day the number of plaque- and rosette-forming cells decreased in comparison with control, and the immune response was restored by the 15h day; at later periods the immune response of the infected rats exceeded the normal level considerably. The cellular and humoral immune reactions proved to depend on the mycoplasma dose.
