VACCINE-INDUCED ANTILEPTOSPIRAL IMMUNITY IN IRRADIATED SPOTTED SOUSLIKS

Experiments were staged on spotted sousliks treated with sublethal doses of x rays, immunized with a vaccine against Leptospirae, and then infected with them. It was made certain that there is a difference in immunity to lethal doses of Leptospirae in the rodents, depending on whether they were these doses 10 and 2 days before or after irradiation, or on the day of irridation itself.(auth)
