Immunization of mice by synthetic peptides fragments of meningococcus external membrane fibers caused the expressed protection of animals against infection caused by live virulent meningococcus culture serogroup A, B and C. There are leading part T-lymphocytes in protection of mice from this infection here. The analysis of T-cellular populations by means of a method flowing cytophluorometrics has shown increase CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes without change of parity CD4+/CD8+. The increase in number of these lymphocytes occurred in late terms after immunization of mice.
