Abstract
In rats infected with larvae of the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, treatment from day 9 to day 19 with the chemical histamine-liberator, compound 48/80, produces a clear delay in worm expulsion. However, the number of mast cells in the epithelium of the jejunum is not markedly decreased by this treatment.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
