[experimental q-rickettsiosis in lambs].	the clinical course, serologic response, and morphologic changes were followed up in month-old lambs infected nasally and via the trachea with rickettsia burneti at the rate of 10,000 id50/cm3. rickettsiae were found in the parenchymal organs, the blood clot, the nasal cavity, the trachea, and the feces of the animals killed on the 7th and 21st day of infection. complement-fixing antibodies were established in the infected lambs with the use of the complement-fixation test from the 5-6th up to t ...	1976	1025840

the role of macrophages in the generation of t-helper cells. ii. the genetic control of the macrophage-t-cell interaction for helper cell induction with soluble antigens.	helper cell induction to nonparticle antigens in vitro requires the cooperation of t cells and macrophages, but does not occur if the macrophages are allogenic. the reasons for this were investigated. malfunction of allogenic macrophages was excluded by cultures with their syngenic t cells; suppressor cell induction was excluded by admixture experiments. thus, t cells and macrophages only cooperated if they were genetically similar. the genetic locus (loci) involved was mapped. using congenic li ...	2005	1079849
