The authors have investigated the influence of the thymus on peritoneal macrophages phagocytosis and antiflagellar agglutinin serum antibodies to "H" Salmonella typhi in the adult rat with diminished immunologic potential. The results show that the immune reactions diminish in intensity in the thymectomized animal. The immune reactions are also diminished in the thymectomized animal exposed to radiation as compared to control irradiated but non-thymectomized.
作者研究了胸腺对免疫潜能降低的成年大鼠腹腔巨噬细胞吞噬作用以及抗鞭毛凝集素血清抗体对伤寒沙门氏菌“H”的影响。结果表明，在胸腺切除的动物中免疫反应强度降低。与接受辐射但未切除胸腺的对照动物相比，接受辐射且胸腺切除的动物的免疫反应也降低。
