Reduced amount of intestinal mucus by treatment with anti‐CD4 antibody interferes with the spontaneous cure of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis‐infection in mice
Abstract
Mechanism of spontaneous cure was studied in mice infected with mouse-nonadaptive Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Adult BALB/c mice were cured spontaneously of infection with this strain of N. brasiliensis by Day 7 post-infection. Expulsion of intestinal worms was delayed dose-dependently by a treatment with anti-CD4 antibody. However, the treatment had no significant effect on larval recovery from the lungs. Treatment of mice with anti-IL-5 …
