The Th-2 response to microfilariae of Brugia malayi in BALB/c mice is associated with peritoneal eosinophilia. These eosinophils had an activated hypodense phenotype in vivo and expressed high levels of the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Interleukin 4 up-regulated the class II MHC, whereas gamma interferon inhibited class II MHC expression on eosinophils.
BALB/c小鼠对马来布鲁线虫微丝蚴的Th-2反应与腹腔嗜酸性粒细胞增多有关。这些嗜酸性粒细胞在体内具有活化的低密度表型,并高表达II类主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)。白细胞介素4上调II类MHC,而γ干扰素抑制嗜酸性粒细胞上II类MHC的表达。
