Abstract
Delayed type hypersensitivity reactions (DTH) to DNFB in C3H (susceptible) and (CBA×C57B1/10)F1 (resistant) mice were not impaired inTrypanosoma cruzi strain Y infections. Mice were infected IP with 100 parasites and sensitized or challenged 11 days after infection at the peak of parasitaemia. DTH reactions were found to be enhanced in C3H infected mice.
