Studies on the Antigenic Composition of 'Coxiella burnetti'.

Abstract

The work described in this annual report is divided into three categories: (1) definition of immune system in C. burnetii infection, (2) inference of mitogen character by use of LPS nonresponder mice, and (3) initiation of effort to develop assays for the existence of cell-mediated immunity. The studies on immune mechanisms in C. burnetii all point to T cell control of the intracellular parasitism with an antibody dependent affect. The mitogenicity studies point to a lipoprotein as an important component in the antigen mosaic of C. burnetii.
