Abstract :
Intravenous administration of a bolus of 0.05 µg/kg body weight endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to camels has resulted in leukopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, proteinaemia, albunaemia , globulinaemia and reduced lysozomal enzyme activity. It is suggested that endotoxin at the dose of 0.05µg/kg body weight may produce immunosuppressive effects in camels
