Abstract Mycoplasma arthritidis was shown to inhibit rosette and plaque formation in rats infected with this species of mycoplasma. By the 15th day the immune response in the control and experimental groups was equal again. At later stages strong stimulation of populations of rosette-forming (RFC) plaque-forming (PFC) cells was observed, subsiding toward the 150th day. Conversely,Acholeplasma laidlawii stimulates RFC and PFC at all periods of infection. The relatinship between these phenomena and the pathogenic properties of mycoplasmas is discussed.
