The Dynamic Study of Specific Antibodies in Sera of Jirds and Mice Experimentally Infected with Brugia malayi

摘要

This paper deals with the studies on the changes of serum specific IgM andIgG,and relationship between the antibody level and infected worm stage of Brugiamalayi.The jirds (Meriones unguiculatus)and BALB/cCR mice were infected with threedifferent stages of Brugia malayi by different routes and serum specific IgM and IgGwere detected by ELISA mcthod.The IgM of infected jirds and mice occurred earlierthan IgG,reached peak at 4～8th weeks,and maintained at a certain level during 30weeks.The responses and toles of IgM and IgG might probably be considered as animmunological characferistic of parasitic helminthic infection.The antibody levels inBALB/cCR mice after infection were higher than those in jirds.
