Abstract
Summary
The immune response to injections of human red blood cells was studied in lathyritic weanling rats by direct agglutination and by electrophoretic analysis of serum globulins. No great differences between the response of the lathyritic and the control rats were found by either study. A minor change in the histology of the spleens of the lathyritic rats is unrelated to the immune response. No evidence is found to support the hypothesis that resistance to infection is altered in lathyrism.
