[Protective effect of a corpuscular polyvalent Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine in generalized chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in mice with cyclophosphamide-induced leukopenia].

The prophylactic effect of immunization with P. aeruginosa polyvalent corpuscular vaccine has been shown on the model of P. aeruginosa generalized chronic infection in mice with leukopenia induced by the intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamids. This effect is manifested by the increased resistance of the animals to sublethal doses of P. aeruginosa strain, as well as by more intense general and specific immunological responses in the infected animals (the increase of specific antibody titers, the number of leukocytes in the blood serum and the phagocytic activity of the cells of peritoneal exudate).
