Abstract

Antibody response and antigen specific suppression to bovine serum albumin (BSA) in uremic rats have been investigated. Primary immune response was found to be significantly reduced independent of the route of administration or adjuvant while secondary response was affected only in animals in which a weak adjuvant such as Al(OH)3 was used. Antigen specific suppression of uremic rats was achieved by intravenous pretreatment with BSA or a C terminal fragment (505-582) of BSA. Secondary response in sham operated controls was suppressed by BSA but not by the fragment. There was about five-fold greater retention of the fragments in the uremic rats than in sham-operated controls at a 6 hr or later after i.v. administration.
