0.05).Serum absorbance value of progesterone injected virgin mice(0.299) was significantly higher than that of no-injectedvirgin mice(0.191)(t=2.955,P0.05).Conclusion Pregnancy has a synergetic effect on immune response of mice against T.spiralis infection,which may be related with the increased level of serum anti-Trichinella antibody and enhanced ability of sera in mediating the death of pre-encapsulated larvae in ADCC.
