Eosinophils and resistance to Trichinella spiralis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mice infected with Trichinella spiralis were depleted of eosinophils by repeated administration of rabbit anti-mouse eosinophil serum. There was no effect on the spontaneous expulsion of adult worms from the small intestines, but the numbers of larvae in the muscles were almost doubled. It is concluded that eosinophils contribute to resistance to the systemic phase of trichinosis.

Immune Correlates of Resistance to Trichinella spiralis Reinfection in Mice
The immune correlate of host resistance induced by reinfection of Trichinella spiralis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated immune correlates between the resistance and serum IgG antibody level, CD23+ IgM+ B cells, and eosinophil responses induced by T. spiralis reinfection. Mice were primarily infected with 10 or 100 T. spiralis larvae (10 TS, 100 TS), respectively, and after 4 week...

متن کاملApoptosis and in vivo distribution and clearance of eosinophils in normal and Trichinella spiralis-infected rats.
We examined apoptosis of eosinophils obtained from normal rats and rats infected with Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). A considerable percentage of normal rats underwent apoptosis within a few hours, however, the apoptosis rate of infected rats was significantly lower. This rate began decreasing only 12 h after infection, reached its lowest level on day 3, and was restored to normal by day 4...
متن کاملIgE antibody and resistance to infection. I. Selective suppression of the IgE antibody response in rats diminishes the resistance and the eosinophil response to Trichinella spiralis infection
Selective suppression of the total IgE antibody response has been achieved in rats by injection of rabbit anti-rat epsilon-chain antibodies. This IgE-specific suppression was maintained during the course of a natural infection by the nematode Trichinella spiralis. Depletion of the IgE antibody response resulted in a marked reduction of the number of eosinophils attracted to the T. spiralis larv...
متن کاملMacrophage-eosinophil interactions in the inflammatory response to Trichinella spiralis.
eosinophils accumulate in vivo, although a tissue reaction to administered antigen has been shown to be a prerequisite for the response. The present experiments aim to understand the significance of the tissue reaction to parasitic larvae in the chain of events leading to eosinophilia. Trichinella spiralis larvae were injected intraperitoneally in rats, and the peritoneal exudate was examined a...
