Abstract
Serum Ig[immunoglobulin]E levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 4 strains of rats, before and after infection by S. mansoni. Differences were observed in basal IgE levels, depending on the strain considered. Serum IgE rose 10-20 days after infection and the maximum level, between days 30-50, ranged 14-60 times the basal level. One of the most characteristic features of IgE production in rat schistosomiasis was the persistence of high IgE levels for a long time after rejection of the worms.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
