Abstract
The main point of this presentation will be to describe the immunosuppressive events that accompany acquired protective immunity to Chlamydia psittaci in the mouse. As a prelude to the presentation and discussion of the experimental data, it is important to understand some aspects of the biology of chlamydiae, the diseases that these organisms cause and what is already known concerning immune responses to chlamydiae.
