摘要: To examine the role that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-like molecules from filarial intracellular endobacteria Wolbachia might play in development of infections, a natural infection LPS-nonresponsive C3H/HeJ mouse strain was compared to LPS-responsive C3H/HeN strain. mice have been shown be susceptible rodent nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis, with adult worms including females containing mature microfilariae (first stage larvae) uterine tubes. However, free are not detected. In this study worm burden and length were significantly different between mice. fertility CeH/HeJ found higher than those Significantly, at site only These results indicate for TLR4 signaling immune response inhibits embryogenesis prevents release or directly kills released microfilariae.
