Altered immune function in hypercholesterolemic monkeys.

abstract：:The rate of clearance of Vibrio fetus var. venerealis was measured by using in vivo and in vitro methods. The rate of clearance from the circulating blood increased in immune rabbits and reached a plateau 4 days after immunization. Thereafter in vivo clearance did not increase further despite rising agglutinin titers....
