The Immunologic Response of Goats to Normal and Syphilitic Rabbit Testicular Tissue

[摘要] Goat immunization and absorption studies revealed that normal rabbit testicular tissue shares common “nonspecific” immobilizing and lipopolysaccharide antigens with virulent Treponema pallidum , Nichols strain and Treponema reiteri ; reagin failed to develop in response to either the testicular tissue or the virulent treponemes.Female goats injected intramuscularly with relatively large numbers of virulent T. pallidum , Nichols strain, showed no evidence of infection as measured by clinical observation, transfer and special straining of popliteal nodes, and antibody response.
