Abstract
At the height of a malaria infection, mice were injected with either sheep erythrocytes (SRBCs) or phage particles, and the antibody response was followed. The response to SRBCs was completely suppressed, but there was a normal response to phage particles, and antibody to the malaria parasites appeared. It is possible that the selective suppression of the response to SRBCs in infected mice was caused by impairment of the processing of other large particulate antigens or by depletion of the population of lymphoid cells sensitive to SRBCs.
