New insights in mechanisms of helminth larvae trapping in the small intestine
The immunofluorescence picture shows a trapped larva of the murine intestinal helminth Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri (Hpb) in the small intestinal submucosa of a Ly5.1 Balb/c wild-type mouse on day 9 after secondary Hpb infection. Alternatively activated macrophages, defined as Relm-α+ (red) and CD68+ (green), are surrounding the trapped larva in the granuloma structure. Westermann et al 2023
