Abstract:
The objectives of the investigation were to 1 characterize the antigenic components and immunologic relationships between trypanosomes of the subgenera Herpetosoma and Schizotrypanum, 2 describe antibody responses to the parasites, 3 determine the effects of homologous and heterologous antisera on the growth of the trypanosomes in vitro and 4 ascertain whether immunization with live parasites, somatic antigens and exoantigens elicits a functional immunity to Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
