The study of the immunological functions of lymphoid tissue by the method of cell transfer. Report 2. The ability of splenic cells from immunized mice to protect recipients against experimental infection

Abstract

Homotransplantation of lymph cells of mice immunized with the chemically purified Vi-antigen provides a high degree of protection from infection with typhoid bacilli on the 2nd day after the transfer of the cells. As demonstrated, this protection is bestowed by the action of the cells transferred.
