Groups | Total | Male | Female | No. of eggs found in liver, per gram | Eggs/female worm |
iNOS−/− | 106 ± 5 | 58 ± 3.5 | 49 ± 1.5 | 18,568 ± 3,158 | 379 ± 60 |
iNOS−/− + Mφ | 67 ± 5.5* | 50 ± 2.2 | 17 ± 3** | 3,034 ± 354** | 176 ± 20* |
The iNOS−/− rats were infected percutaneously with 200 S. japonicum cercariae. Macrophages from WT rats were transferred into iNOS−/− recipients as described in SI Materials and Methods. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM from two biological repeats (n = 10). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
