Effect of splenectomy on the in-vitro migration inhibition response to sheep erythrocytes in the lizard,Calotes versicolor

Summary Splenectomy completely erased the PFC response to SRBC in lizards. In contrast, it has very little effect on the degree of MI to all doses ranging from 10⁴ to 10⁹, excepting the lowest dose, 10³ SRBC.Supported by PL-480 (NIH) research grant, No. 01-077.Grateful to Madurai University for the award of Studentship during the tenure of the work and to Dr P.
