The blood eosinophil response of normal and congenitally athymic nude rats was studied following infection with the parasitic trematode Fasciola hepatica. A marked eosinophilia was evident irrespective of the presence or absence of a thymus in the infected rats, suggesting that thymus-dependent mechanisms are not essential for the induction of eosinophilia in the rat.
在感染寄生性吸虫肝片吸虫后,对正常和先天性无胸腺裸鼠的血液嗜酸性粒细胞反应进行了研究。无论受感染大鼠有无胸腺,均出现明显的嗜酸性粒细胞增多,这表明胸腺依赖性机制对于大鼠嗜酸性粒细胞增多的诱导并非必不可少。
