[Antitoxoplasmic immunity on congenitally athymic nude mice]. 1977

S Stadtsbaeder, and Nguyen

Susceptibility to toxoplasmic infection was found to be the same in Nude mice (nu/nu) as in controls. Vaccination with avirlent toxoplasma (Beverley strains) confered an incomplete immunity to Nude mice: in 20 to 40% of cases, mortality was delayed as compared to unvaccinated control. Cellular (activation of macrophages) and humoral (circulating antibodies) immune responses were partially present in Nude mice.
