Differential immune responses to excretory–secretory antigens of lung-stage larvae of Schistosoma mansoni in mice and rats
In contrast to mice, rats are less-susceptible to infection with Schistosoma mansoni, perhaps mounting protective immune responses that provide a microenvironment unfavorable for the normal growth and survival of the parasite. Upon infection, schistosomular excretory–secretory products (ESP) trigger...
