Trypanosoma lewisi: An in vitro Model System for the Study of the Effects of Humoral Factors on Growing Parasitic Protozoa.
Abstract
The objectives of the investigation were to: (1) characterize the antigenic components and immunologic relationships between trypanosomes of the subgenera Herpetosoma and Schizotrypanum, (2) describe antibody responses to the parasites, (3) determine the effects of homologous and heterologous antisera on the growth of the trypanosomes in vitro and (4) ascertain whether immunization with live parasites, somatic antigens and exoantigens elicits a functional immunity to Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
