Role of T lymphocytes in secretory response to an enteric nematode parasite
Abstract
Athymic (nude) rats have been used to assess the role of thymus-dependent T cells in the control of the intestinal response following infection with the enteric parasite,Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Tissues from infected rats were excised on days 4, 7, 10, and 21 postinfection (p-i) for physiological and morphological studies; uninfected (day 0) rats served as controls. In response to the worm burden, jejunal tissues displayed a secretory …
