Abstract
The present work is concerned with early cellular changes occurring during a malaria infection. Blast transformation by lymphoid cells and phagocytosis by adherent cells from the bone marrow was performed, using immune and nonimmune Balb/c mice. Nonadherent bone marrow cells from immune mice show an increased specific lymphoblast transformation. This increase was not observed during a lethal infection (PI). Adherent bone marrow cells were assayed for phagocytosis of parasitized (PE) or normal erythrocytes (NE). Cells from immune mice show an increase in phagocytosis of PE and NE. Cells from PI mice showed a decreased phagocytosis throughout the infection, beginning at Day 1 after challenge.
