Abstract
SERUM proteins are often altered when an animal is infected by an intracellular parasite, but do the soluble proteins of the parasitized cell itself change ? This question and others involving intracellular host–parasite relationships were studied using two antigenically different cell lines grown in a chemically defined medium free of antigenic molecules and antibiotics1. In these cloned lines, antigenic differences resulting from the same parasite infection were compared.
