Schistosoma mansoni: impairment of the cell-mediated immune response in mice.

Abstract

Skin-graft rejection in mice experimentally infected with Schistosoma mansoni is delayed when grafting is performed 60 days after the infection. In mice infected 30 days prior to the grafting, the grafts were rejected at the same time both in infected and in control animals. This observation indicates that impairment of cell-mediated immune response occurs in mice with mature S. mansoni infections.
