Comparing the immune response to a novel intranasal nanoparticle PLGA vaccine and a commercial BPI3V vaccine in dairy calves [PDF]
peer-reviewedBackground There is a need to improve vaccination against respiratory pathogens in calves by stimulation of local immunity at the site of pathogen entry at an early stage in life. Ideally such a vaccine preparation would not be inhibited by

Immunological relationships during primary infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematospiroides dubius): downregulation of specific cytokine secretion (IL-9 and IL-10) correlates with poor mastocytosis and chronic survival of adult worms [PDF]
Mice were infected either with Trichinella spiralis (day 0), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (day -14) or concurrently with both species and were killed in groups, together with naive control mice, on 2 occasions (day 8 and 15 post infection with T.
