A viscous mucoid fluid occasionally accumulates after intratesticular inoculation of rabbits with Treponema pallidum. Experiments were performed to assess the effects of this testicular fluid on the development of syphilitic lesions. Intramuscular injections of this fluid altered host defences as indicated by shorter incubation periods, by reactivation of healing lesions, and by the presence of lesions at a time when solid immunity should have developed.
用梅毒螺旋体接种兔睾丸后，偶尔会积聚一种粘性粘液样液体。进行实验以评估这种睾丸液对梅毒病变发展的影响。肌肉注射这种液体改变了宿主防御，表现为潜伏期缩短、愈合病变重新激活，以及在应该已经产生牢固免疫力的时候出现病变。
