Abstract
PREVIOUS investigations have shown marked suppression of delayed hypersensitivity reactions, prolongation of skin homograft survival, and impairment of antibody production in rats treated with reserpine1. Moreover, this Rauwolfia alkaloid was regularly found to produce thymic involution. This communication is an extension of these investigations, and deals with the effect of reserpine on the development of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in the rat and chicken.
