[T- and B-lymphocytes and an analysis of the specific reactivity in experimental brucellosis].

There was an increase of a relative and absolute T-lymphocytes content and a considerable reduction of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of guinea pigs infected with a high doses of brucella of vaccine strain 19-BA. There proved to be no correlation between the number of T-lymphocytes in the blood and the intensity of Burnet's test. The content of B-lymphocytes was compared with different antituberculosis antibodies in the blood serum of the infected animals.
