Effect of UV-irradiation, spleen cells and MLN cells on protective immunity against Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in mice

V R Kamath et al. Z Parasitenkd. 1986.

Abstract

The UV-irradiated larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonensis were used for inducing immunity in mice. A single oral dose of 100 infective UV-irradiated larvae exposed for 5 min or 15 min induced 91% and 97% protection against subsequent infection. Adoptive protection against A. cantonensis could also be transferred by spleen and mesenteric lymph node cells obtained from vaccinated mice.
