Studies on Dipetalonema viteae (Filarioidea). 4. Passive transfer of immunity to circulating microfilariae by spleen cells. 1979

M Tanner, and N Weiss

Passive transfer experiments provided clear evidence for a role of spleen cells in the immunity of hamsters against Dipetalonema viteae microfilariae. 106 or more spleen cells from postpatent (amicrofilaraemic) hamsters suppressed incipient microfilaraemia in syngeneic recipients when transferred at either week 2 or week 6 of a primary infection. Spleen cells from microfilaraemic donors (week 15-16 post infection) were also capable of transferring immunity against microfilariae. The spleen cell transfer never affected the survival of adult worms. After transfer of spleen cells from either patent or postpatent hamsters, antibodies to the cuticle of microfilariae could be found in the sera of recipients as early as week 8 of a primary infection.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

The presence of living worms in the body is mainly asymptomatic but the death of adult worms leads to granulomatous inflammation and permanent fibrosis.
