Abstract: | Wilkes S. D. and Goven A. J. 1984. Tissue eosinophil numbers and phospholipase B activity in mice infected with Trichinella spiralis. International Journal for Parasitology14. 479–482. Tissue eosinophils were counted and phospholipase B activity was assayed in the intestines of mice infected with 200 Trichinella spiralis larvae. The numbers of intestinal eosinophils and phospholipase B activity increased, peaked and returned to normal levels during the same time period. The findings support the hypothesis that a parasite-induced tissue eosinophilia is the source of elevated phospholipase B activity present in parasitized tissues. |
