To study the effect of chemical industry effluent on cell mediated immune response in mice, 128 mice were procured from Indian Veterinary Research Institute, (IVRI) Bareilly, were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. Group I was kept as control while group II mice were given chemical industry effluent daily orally ad libidum. Cellular immune response was measured by Lymphocyte Stimulation Test (LST) and Total Leucocyte Count (TLC). The results showed significant decrease in lymphocyte Stimulation Index and Total Leucocyte Count at 90,105 and 120 days of experiment, in comparison to control.
