A single gene determines rapid expulsion of Trichinella spiralis in mice.
In rats and some inbred mouse strains, one immune response, rapid expulsion, confers up to 95% protection against a challenge infection with Trichinella spiralis. Strain analysis in mice has shown that only three inbred strains, all originating from Swiss-line mice at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., express rapid expulsion. Crosses between responder strain mice (NFR/N) and non...
متن کاملIntestinal mucus trapping in the rapid expulsion of Trichinella spiralis by rats: induction and expression analyzed by quantitative worm recovery.
Rats were immunized with a Trichinella spiralis infection restricted by chemotherapy to the intestine (the T/M regime) or with a complete infection that resulted in the deposition of muscle larvae. After an oral challenge infection, rapid expulsion could be demonstrated in both groups within 20 min and with 100% recovery of the infectious dose from the stomachs and intestines of infected animal...
متن کاملCD4 T cells and major histocompatibility complex class II expression influence worm expulsion and increased intestinal muscle contraction during Trichinella spiralis infection.
Expulsion of intestinal nematode parasites and the associated increased contraction by intestinal muscle are T cell dependent, since both are attenuated in athymic rodents. The CD4 T-cell subset has been strongly associated with worm expulsion; however, the relationship between these cells, antigen presentation, and worm expulsion is not definitive and the role of these factors in intestinal mu...
متن کاملCritical role for signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 6 in mediating intestinal muscle hypercontractility and worm expulsion in Trichinella spiralis-infected mice.
Intestinal nematode infections in rats or mice are accompanied by intestinal muscle hyper contractility that may contribute to parasite expulsion from the gut. Previous studies demonstrated that both the expulsion of nematode parasites and the associated muscle hyper contractility are dependent on CD4(+) T helper cells. Nevertheless, the precise immunological mechanism underlying changes in int...
متن کاملInterleukin-9 enhances resistance to the intestinal nematode Trichuris muris.
Upon infection with the cecum-dwelling nematode Trichuris muris, the majority of inbred strains of mice launch a Th2-type immune response and in doing so expel the parasite before patency. In contrast, there are a few mouse strains which develop a nonprotective Th1-type response resulting in a chronic infection and the presence of adult worms. Of the Th2 cytokines known to be associated with th...
