Serum IL-12 Level in Mice Infected with Trichinella spiralis / 中国寄生虫学与寄生虫病杂志

ABSTRACT

Kunming mice were infected by feeding 150?5 larvae of Trichinella spiralis,established was also a normal control group.Blood was collected from the ophthalmic venous plexus respectively on 7 d,21 d,35 d and 49 d after infection and IL-12 in the serum was detected by ELISA.The level of IL-12 in serum decreased in groups of 7 d,21 d,and 35 d,with a significant difference to the control(P0.05),suggesting that the serum IL-12 of the Trichinella spiralis-infected mice significantly decreased at the earlier stage but approached to normal at a later stage.
