Abstrakt: Partial protection against cutaneous syphilis and dissemination of treponemes to the regional lymph nodes was achievable in Treponema pallidum-infected neonatal strain 2 guinea pigs having syphilis-immune mothers. This evidence for enhanced resistance was associated with the natural transfer of antitreponemal, maternally derived immunoglobulins before parturition.
