Histopathology of egg granulomas in the livers. (A) Six weeks after challenge, mice were sacrificed. After portal perfusion, livers were dissected and stained with H&E for microscopic examination. The number of granulomas in the liver of each mouse was counted in 10 random fields and the data are expressed as the mean ± SD of 16 mice (8 mice/group) from two independent experiments. (B) The size of nonconfluent granulomas formed around a single egg was assessed using a video micrometer. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD of 16 mice (8 mice/group) from two independent experiments. *P < 0.05, compared to the 18K-PDDV and PBS groups.
