Cell mediated immunity in Chagas' disease: Trypanosoma cruzi antigens induce suppression of the in vitro proliferative response of mononuclear cells

The partial suppression of the cell-mediated immune response by Trypanosoma cruzi antigens in patients with Chagas' disease is demonstrated in a costimulation assay with T. cruzi antigens and Mycobacterium tuberculosis purified protein derivative (PPD) or Tetanus toxoid (TT). ononuclear cells f...
