Abstract
⺠G. spinigerum infected mice spleen cell was tested for lymphoproliferative responses. ⺠Significant depression to Con A and specific antigen stimulations were observed. ⺠This immunodepression was depended on the chronicity and dose of infection. ⺠T cell response is defective but could be reversible by anthelminthic treatment. ⺠The involvement of Th-2 response in regulating T cell proliferation was suggested.
