The erythrocytes of Wistar rats, subjected to heating at 40 degrees C (4 times, each heating lasting 40 min.) were found to be more immunogenic in mice than the erythrocytes of intact rats. The immunization of intact Wistar rats, in a single injection, with syngeneic erythrocytes obtained from the heated animals did not induce immunological response reaction, whereas 5 injections of these erythrocytes caused an increase in the number of rosette-forming cells. The injection of syngeneic erythrocytes obtained from the heated rats to intact animals also stimulated the development of immune response to sheep erythrocytes.
