Weight loss in TNF−/− and TNFR1−/−/R2−/− mice during acute schistosomiasis. Age- and sex-matched cohorts of wild type and TNF−/− (A) or TNFR1−/−/R2−/− (B) mice were infected with S. mansoni at day 0 and the body mass of each animal was monitored at weekly intervals. Loss of body mass in TNF−/− mice begins at 6 weeks p.i., coincident with onset of parasite egg laying.
