Susceptibility to Cryptosporidium parvum Infections in Cytokine- and Chemokine-Receptor Knockout Mice
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of cytokines and a chemokine receptor in the susceptibility to, and outcome of, infection, 4 different knockout mice (IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, and CCR5) were infected with Cryptosporidium parvum and monitored for infection intensity by collection of fecal pellets from individual mice. Because adult immunocompetent mice are refractory to infection, wild-type mice on the same background as the...
