Scott, Alan John (1986) Studies on the Local Skin Reaction Against African Trypanosomes. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

This thesis contains the results of an investigation into the immunological events involved in the production of a local skin reaction by rabbits in response to intradermal challenge with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. An antigenically defined model system is described which utilises cloned, monomorphic lines of trypanosomes stably expressing a single VAT. Intradermal injection of such trypanosomes into rabbits induced the formation of chancres morphologically indistinguishable from those induced by cyclically transmitted trypanosomes. The injection of 10.
