Hymenolepis nana: Transfer of acquired immunity in mice through sensitized peritoneal exudate cells

Summary Sensitized peritoneal exudate cells from syngeneic donor Swiss albino mice infected with single and repeated doses of viable eggs ofHymenolepis nana produced a significant adoptive immunity in test mice when compared with animals which received non-sensitized (normal) cells. No significant difference was observed among the 2 recipient groups which received singly or repeatedly sensitized peritoneal exudate cells.Acknowledgment. We thank Professor B. M.
