Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic changes in murine alveolar macrophages have been described in response to vaccination with irradiated cercariae and to a subsequent challenge with normal parasites. Flow cytometric analysis was used to quantify the proportions of cells strongly positive for a number of macrophage surface markers, detected by a panel of monoclonal primary antibodies and fluorescent secondary antibodies. The proportion...
