| establishment of t-helper-2 immune response based gerbil model of enteric infection. | the reciprocal antagonism of t-helper-1 (th-1) and th-2 type immune responses suggests that helminth parasitic infection may ameliorate disease where a th-1 type response dominates. the mongolian gerbil has been useful in the investigation of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer, since long-term infection of gerbils with helicobacter pylori induces adenocarcinoma. in this study the kinetics of worm expulsion and associated immune responses in gerbils infected with trichinella spiralis were investi ... | 2004 | 15370689 |
