Antigen-induced lymphocyte blastogenesis in a hookworm (Necator americanus) infection in man.

A lymphocyte blastogenic technique was employed to examine cell-mediated immunity in a Necator americanus infection. Infective third-stage larvae of N. americanus were jsed for antigen preparation, and lymphocyte cultures were prepared from peripheral blood taken on days 3, 17, and 51 after infection with 250 third-stage larvae of N. americanus. At 3 days post-infection lymphocyte transformation was not induced; at 17 and 51 days after infection significant transformation was obtained.

Haematological and immunological responses to the tapeworm hymenolepis diminuta in man.

Self-infections with the tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta were carried out to study the haematological and immunological responses in man. Infection caused pronounced eosinophilia, an increase in plasma viscosity and the production of parasite-specific IgG and IgM. Circulating IgE was not detected. There were no significant changes in erythrocyte values or serum transaminases.
