Schistosoma mansoni: inflammatory foci around larvae in the peritoneal cavity of naive mice is radiosensitive.

چکیده
Innate attack to Schistosoma mansoni cercariae was evaluated in irradiated mice. It was observed that 70% of the larvae from mice sacrificed one day after whole body irradiation with 400 or 800 rads were surrounded by cluster reactivities, without difference from controls. Differences were apparent on day 5 after irradiation with sub lethal (400 rads) or lethal doses (800 rads) suggesting that innate defence to infection take at least 5 days to be affected by low dose whole-body radiation.

Omental and pleural milky spots: different reactivity patterns in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni reveals coelomic compartmentalisation.
In vertebrate animals, pleural and peritoneal cavities are repositories of milky spots (MS), which constitute an organised coelom-associated lymphomyeloid tissue that is intensively activated by Schistosoma mansoni infection. This study compared the reactive patterns of peritoneal MS to pleural MS and concluded from histological analysis that they represent independent responsive compartments. ...
متن کاملCombined microautoradiographic and histopathologic analysis of the fate of challenge Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula in mice immunized with irradiated cercariae.
Combined microautoradiographic and histopathologic methods were used to locate and examine schistosomula of Schistosoma mansoni in the lungs of irradiated cercaria-immunized mice 21 days after percutaneous challenge infection with 75Se-labeled cercariae. Of 75 schistosomula examined in serial sections, 53% were located in the pulmonary microvasculature, 23% in alveolar spaces, 3% with one end i...
متن کاملInvolvement of regional lymph nodes after penetration of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae in naive and infected mice.
The parotid lymph nodes of naive and previously infected Balb/c mice were studied after, respectively, infection and re-infection with cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni via the ears. Schistosomula were able to pass through the lymph node by following the lymph flow or by penetrating the veins of the medullary cords. The number of nodal mast cells was higher from day 2 to 6 of primary infection; ...

In infected mice the weight gain (ascites form ation) started later and was shorter than in uninfected Co...
متن کاملMast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice
Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
