Abstract
Adult guinea pigs develop a delayed hypersensitivity to intradermally injected neoarsphenamine. If the animals are treated intravenously with high doses of this compound before sensitization, a specific and permanent immunological tolerance develops. Permanent tolerance is also obtained in previously sensitized animals when an intravenous injection of neoarsphenamine isfollowed 6 hours later by an intradermal one. When, however, the interval between the two injections is extended to 7 or 14 days, no tolerance is observed.
