[Importance of T-lymphocytes in antibody production in experimental typhus infection].
The study of antibody production in cotton rats infected with Rickettsia prowazekii B and TB has revealed that R. prowazekii antigens, inducing the production of antibodies determined in the complement fixation, indirect hemolysis, and passive hemagglutination tests, are T-independent. The study of the nonspecific reactivity of T-lymphocytes in cotton rats infected with R. prowazekii TB has indicated that in case of the prolonged persistence of the infective agent in the animals no secondary immune deficiency develops.
