Abstract
Castrated male rats were treated parenterally with ovine prolactin during a primary infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Survival of the worms in the small intestine was prolonged, which suggested that prolactin inhibited rejection of the parasite.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
