title: [The effect of a subretinal injection of Toxoplasma gondii on the serum antibody titer in a rabbit model of ocular toxoplasmosis].
abstract: A single subretinal injection of RH toxoplasma initiated an experimental toxoplasmosis of the eyes in big chinchilla rabbits. This animal model was used to study the development of the serum IgG level against toxoplasma. As a rule, the specific antibody level rose between the 9th and the 20th day following injection. At that time, the peak of inflammation had already been exceeded. An influence of cyclophosphamide0 or complete Freund's adjuvant on the humoral immune response of the animals to toxoplasma could not be detected. An attempt is made to interpret the findings deviating from the toxoplasmosis of the human eye.
