Biodegradable Chitosan Decreases the Immune Response to Trichinella spiralis in Mice

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of chitosan units released during natural degradation of the polymer to activate the immune system against T. spiralis infection. High molecular weight chitosan was injected intraperitoneally into C57BL/6 mice. Flow cytometry and cytokine conce...
