Effects of Rat Antiserum on the Course of Plasmodium berghei Infection in Mice

Properties of Protective Malarial Antibody

“…These observations indicate that much anti-malarial immunoglobulin has no protective effect against the plasmodial infection (Targett and Voller, 1965). Nevertheless, protective antibody has been demonstrated by passive transfer tests in monkey (Coggeshall and Kumm, 1937) and human infections (Cohen, McGregor and Carrington, 1961) and, to a lesser degree, in rodent malaria (Fabiani and Fulchiron, 1953;Bruce-Chwatt and Gibson, 1955;Isfan, 1966;Briggs, Wellde and Sadun, 1966;Diggs and Osler, 1969). Such tests have not, however, provided a suitable basis for detailed studies on the mechanism of malarial immunity.…”

Adoptive Transfer of Immunity to Plasmodium berghei by Spleen and Lymph Node Cells from Young and Old Mice*

“…All were toxic to and accumulated by T. pyriformis, although in different degree. Aroclor 1254 was the most toxic, as judged by significant reduction of both growth rate and 96-hr population density at 0.001 mg/liter concentration ( 4 ) , whereas Aroclors 1248 and 1254 did not reduce significantly either population growth or 96-hr population density at concentrations below 1 mg/liter. Concentration of these PCBs by T. pyriformis increased with increasing chlorination of the toxicants: Aroclor 1248, 40 X; Aroclor 1254, 60 x; and Aroclor 1260, 79 X.…”
