ablastin

06/01/1990 - "In the case of murine Trypanosoma musculi infections, there are no answers to questions concerning (i) the nature of the prolonged plateau phase during which the number of parasites present in the host remains nearly constant (is it a static or dynamic steady state?); (ii) the origin of new parasites, if the plateau is a dynamic steady state, given the relatively early disappearance of generative forms from the bloodstream; and (iii) the role, if any, of a putative ablastin (reproduction-restricting antibody) in regulating the population dynamics of T. "
06/01/1984 - "lewisi infection, nor for the production of ablastin."
04/01/1983 - "It is concluded that the presence of the spleen enables the rat to clear the parasite more rapidly from the circulation, but that the spleen is not essential for the production ablastin during the infection."
06/01/1982 - "Ablastin was unstable to dialysis at pH 1X8, was not adsorbed from serum by trypanosomes and could not be induced in vivo by means other than a natural infection. "
