Effect of reduced immunity on murine behaviors.
Reduction of immunity in 11 mice of the CD1 strain by administration of methotrexate did not alter some reliable behaviors in the open-field (ambulation, rearing, defecation) compared with 10 matched mice injected with saline. Perhaps moderate depression of immunity may not affect some characteristic behaviors.
