- Notes: Adult female BALB/c mice were mucosally immunised with SA35/40 mix. Cells were stimulated with C. parvum crude extract and were gated for 90–95% CD45+. Analysis of splenocytes from adult mice was carried out on the last day of the experiments. The number of mice is shown in Fig. 1. Newborn mice born from intranasally immunised mothers were infected with 105 oocysts and sacrificed five days later
