Immunosuppression in murine malaria. II. The primary response to bovine serum albumin.

PMCID: PMC1445344  PMID: 608688

Abstract

The primary antibody response to alumadsorbed bovine serum albumin was depressed in CBA mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii yoelii. Responses initiated within approximately 3 weeks of this malaria infection were reduced in quantity, but not in avidity. Responses initated later were normal. A depressed primary response was also seen in infected compared to control splenectomized mice; this was accompanied by impaired priming for a secondary response.
