The objective of this research work were to 1 serially evaluate the immune function of experimentally manipulated dogs to define the time required to normalize immune function 2 identify immunologic lesions produced by the experimental protocol which causes a delay in recovery of immune function and 3 define method of restoring immune function through the use of immune enhancing agents.
