The cuticular surface of the infectious third-stage larvae of Nematospiroides dubius activates complement via the alternative pathway. Sensitisation of larvae with complement or with antibodies from the serum of immune mice (resistant to reinfection) promoted the adherence of mouse peritoneal exudate cells to the larval cuticle during incubation in vitro. The infectivity of larvae sensitized with antibody or complement was significantly reduced after incubation with cells from immune mice.
Dubius线虫感染性三期幼虫的角质表面通过替代途径激活补体。用补体或免疫小鼠(对再感染有抵抗力)血清中的抗体致敏幼虫,在体外孵育期间可促进小鼠腹腔渗出细胞与幼虫角质层的黏附。用抗体或补体致敏的幼虫与免疫小鼠的细胞孵育后,其感染力显著降低。
