Evaluation of immunological parameters in rabbits inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus in view of specific and non-specific stimulation.
Rabbits were repeatedly immunized with Staphylococcus aureus and a number of immunological parameters concerning humoral and cellular immunity of homologous and heterologous strains was studied. Immunological activation with reference to all the strains, was presented and it proved to be higher in the case of homologous strain. This finding proves the specific and non-specific stimulation of the immunological mechanisms by staphylococcal vaccine.
