Adoptive transfer of immune IEL protects SCID mice against a lethal challenge with E. cuniculi. IEL from naive and infected C57BL/6 (10 mice per group) were isolated at day 7 p.i. A total of 107 purified IELs were injected i.p. into SCID mice (four mice per group). Control animals received an equal amount of cells from uninfected mice. After 48 h, the mice were challenged orally with 5 × 107 spores of E. cuniculi and the survival of the animals was monitored until the end of the experiment.
