Abstract

In experiments on 240 guinea-pigs metabolic changes were found to occur in peripheral blood cells in the process of the development of brucellosis infection and after immunization. The degree and character of the activity of lysosomal enzymes depended on the time of infection and immunity formation. In comparison with the vaccinal culture of Br. abortus 19, the virulent culture of Br. abortus 544 induced greater changes in the activity of esterase, acidic and alkaline phosphatase in neutrophils, in the activity of acidic phosphatase in lymphocytes, as well as in the number of lymphocytes containing this enzyme. The data on enzymatic activity are recommended for use as a differential test for evaluating the character of the infectious and vaccinal processes.
