摘要
The influence of host strain and age upon susceptibility of rats to infection with Taenia crassiceps metacestodes was examined. The polyclonal T-cell activators concanavalin-A and phytohaemagglutinin were used to demonstrate that the onset of host resistance to infection with the cestode is coincident with the acquisition of responsiveness to mitogens in the post-natal maturation of the AS2 rat. © 1979.
