Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) significantly reduced Cryptosporidium parvum development in a murine enterocyte cell line, and a key mechanism of action appeared to be inhibition of parasite invasion. However, TNF-alpha-deficient mice controlled infection as effectively as wild-type mice. This suggests that TNF-alpha might have only a redundant role for establishing immunity against C. parvum.
肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)显著降低了小鼠肠上皮细胞系中小隐孢子虫的发育,其关键作用机制似乎是抑制寄生虫入侵。然而,TNF-α基因缺陷型小鼠控制感染的效果与野生型小鼠一样有效。这表明TNF-α在建立针对小隐孢子虫的免疫方面可能仅起冗余作用。
