Fig. 5

Parasite burden and immune response were observed at 6 weeks after S. japonicum infection in mice vaccinated with T-TPI + IFA, TPI + IFA, IFA and PBS. a. Average number of worms recovered. b. Average number of eggs per gram (EPG) in the liver. c. Representative granulomas with a single egg from each group (100Ă—). d. Average area of single egg granulomas from each group. e, f. Percentages of CD3+CD4+IFN-γ+(Th1) and CD3+CD8+IFN-γ+(Tc1) gated from CD3+ T cells analysed by FACS. Each bar represents the means ± SEM from twelve mice per group. (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01)
