Chronic giardiasis in B-cell-deficient mice expressing the xid gene
Abstract
The role of antibody in immunity to Giardia muris infection was investigated by studying B-cell-deficient CBA/N mice expressing the xid gene. After gastric administration of infective G. muris cysts, CBA/N male and female mice developed prolonged G. muris infection, whereas BALB/c mice eliminated their infection in 6 to 8 weeks. Male F1 progeny obtained from matings between female CBA/N mice and male BALB/c mice expressed the xid gene and …
