CBA/J male mice with chronic Schistosoma mansoni infections display either moderate splenomegaly syndrome (MSS) or hypersplenomegaly syndrome (HSS). As MSS and HSS mice differ in several immunologic characteristics, we investigated T-cell receptor Vbeta usage. The groups had significantly different expression of several Vbetas, suggesting a relationship between the T-cell repertoire and schistosomiasis pathology.
患有慢性曼氏血吸虫感染的CBA/J雄性小鼠表现出中度脾肿大综合征(MSS)或脾肿大综合征(HSS)。由于MSS和HSS小鼠在几个免疫学特征上存在差异,我们研究了T细胞受体Vβ的使用情况。两组在几种Vβ的表达上有显著差异,这表明T细胞库与血吸虫病病理学之间存在关联。
