Although normal mice eliminated the lumen-dwelling intestinal cestode Hymenolepis diminuta by day 21 post-cysticercoid inoculation, congenitally thymus-deficient (nude) mice maintained their work burdens. Nude mice grafted with thymus glands or injected with thymus cells eliminated their worms.
虽然正常小鼠在接种囊尾蚴后21天内清除了肠道内寄生的微小膜壳绦虫,但先天性胸腺缺陷(裸)小鼠的虫体负担却一直存在。移植了胸腺或注射了胸腺细胞的裸鼠清除了体内的寄生虫。
