Abstract:

Total protein, DNA and RNA was estimated in the abdominal muscles of experimental and control male swiss albino mice (6-8 wks old; 23-26 g wt). Immunex DS (IDS) was orally administered (@150mg/mouse) as a single dose in mice of group I. In a set of 6 experimental groups, IDS was orally administered @150mg/mouse in a single dose on day 0 and injected with Gene Vac B vaccine on day 4 of experiment (@ 0.07ml/mouse, A; 0.1ml/mouse, B; 0.2ml/mouse, C; 0.4ml/mouse, D; 0.8ml/mouse, E, and 1ml/mouse, F). A single group was kept as control (untreated and uninfected).
