Thymus dependence of tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) elimination from mice.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Although normal mice eliminated the lumen-dwelling intestinal cestode Hymenolepis diminuta by day 21 post-cysticercoid inoculation, congenitally thymus-deficient (nude) mice maintained their work burdens. Nude mice grafted with thymus glands or injected with thymus cells eliminated their worms.
