Abstract
Mice and rabbits infected with Trypanosoma brucei developed much lower agglutinin levels than uninfected animals when injected with sheep erythrocytes. The immunosuppression became more marked as the infection progressed. The infected rabbits produced heterophile agglutinins but the mice did not.
