TNFα is required for efficient control of Giardia infection. A. C57BL/6 mice were infected with G. lamblia and treated with anti-TNFα (hatched bars) or control rat IgG (open bars) on day 0. Parasite numbers were determined on different days post-infection. B. TNFα deficient mice (hatched bars) and B6X129 F2 controls (open bars) were infected on day 0 and parasite numbers were determined on different days post-infection. N = 4 / group. Data are presented as means with S.D. * p<0.05 by Mann-Whiney test. The limit of detection in this assay is 104 trophozoites / mouse and is marked by the dashed horizontal line. Data are representative of three experiments each with anti-TNFα treatment and TNFα deficient mice.
