The I-A(Bm12) mutation of the I-A beta subunit converted Leishmania donovani-susceptible C57BL/6 (B6) mice into the relatively resistant B6C-H-2 Bm12 (Bm12) strain. The relative resistance was reflected not only in the reduced splenic and hepatic parasite burden in Bm12 (compared with B6) but also by the ability of Bm12 mice to mount a T-cell proliferative response to parasite antigens. Assay of antileishmanial...
