Immunity in experimental murine filariasis: roles of T and B cells revisited
Infect Immun.
1999 Jun.
Abstract
We have reevaluated the contributions of T and B cells in Brugia malayi infection by utilizing knockout mice on a uniform background (C57BL/6J). We find that B-cell-deficient mice are more permissive to infection than T-cell-deficient mice.
