Chickens in which antibody-forming capacity was abrogated by bursectomy and irradiation developed protective immunity against Raillietina cesticillus as effective as controls which had specific antiworm antibodies in their sera and immunoglobulin positive cells in splenic and intestinal tissues. It is concluded that antibodies are not essential for the rejection of the tapeworm by chickens and may even retard rejection.
通过法氏囊切除和辐射消除抗体形成能力的鸡，对鸡赖利绦虫产生了与对照组一样有效的保护性免疫，对照组血清中有特异性抗蠕虫抗体，脾脏和肠道组织中有免疫球蛋白阳性细胞。得出的结论是，抗体对于鸡排斥绦虫并非必不可少，甚至可能会延缓排斥反应。
