Transfer of nonspecific resistance to Listeria monocytogenes using spleen cells from syphilitic rabbits (38574)

R F Schell et al. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

The data presented show that spleen cells obtained from syphilitic rabbits can be used to transfer nonspecific resistance to Listeria to normal recipients. This supports the hypotheisis that infection caused by T. pallidum induces a cell-mediated immune response.
