Extract

It has been shown that the 5th or adult stage of Trichinella spiralis stimulates strong immunity in mice. This was shown using a transfer technique and irradiated worms. A comparison between the immunity produced by a normal infection and one which has been irradiated is made and explanations offered to explain the fact that less immunity is stimulated by irradiated larvae.

I would like to express my gratitude to H.M. Treasury and to the Agricultural Research Council for financial support during the time that this work was conducted. I would also like to thank Professor W.I.B. Beveridge, within whose department this work was conducted, for the facilities provided. I would also like to record my gratitude to Dr W. C. Campbell for the many stimulating discussions we have had on the subject of Trichinella.
