The effect of cyclosporin A on Trypanosoma musculi infection of mice
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1988Cyclosporin A treatment of mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi mimicked the effect of T-cell deprivation in increasing the parasitemia and lowering the antibody responses. However, in contrast to T-cell deprivation, cyclosporin A treated mice were still able to clear the parasites from the blood.

Crossed immunoelectrophoretic analyses of antigens from Trypanosoma lewisi and Trypanosoma musculi
International Journal for Parasitology, 1979Abstract Trypanosoma lewisi and Trypanosoma musculi were collected from immunosuppressed infected hosts and extracted with phosphate buffered saline. Antisera were obtained from rats repeatedly infected with T. lewisi or mice repeatedly infected with T. musculi . Cellular antigens (CAg) present in the extracts of the parasites were analyzed by

Interactions between peritoneal cells and Trypanosoma musculi in mice
International Journal for Parasitology, 1988Abstract Samarawickrema N. A. and Howell M. J. 1988. Interactions between peritoneal cells and Trypanosoma musculi in mice. International Journal for Parasitology 18 : 69–73. Trypomastigotes of the mouse trypanosome Trypanosoma musculi are attracted to clusters of peritoneal cells (consisting predominantly of lymphocytes and macrophages ...

Development and Proliferation of Trypanosoma musculi in the Presence of Adherent Splenic Cells
The Journal of Parasitology, 1999The development and proliferation of Trypanosoma musculi parasites were studied in vitro in the presence of adherent splenic cells. The parasites grew and proliferated only when attached by their flagellar tips to adherent splenic cells. Analyses of excretory-secretory products of the adherent cells-parasites did not indicate any detectable soluble ...

Effect of malnutrition on susceptibility of mice to Trypanosoma musculi: Vitamin A-deficiency
Zeitschrift f�r Parasitenkunde, 1976Vitamin A-deficiency was studied in mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi. Irrespective of diet, trypomastigotes (trypanosomes) appeared in peripheral tail blood of all inoculated mice after 6-day incubation periods. On the average, vitamin A-deficient mice had parasitemias about 10 times greater than animals fed a complete diet and 8 times pair-fed ...

The immunosuppressive and mitogenic effects of Trypanosoma musculi.
Clinical and experimental immunology, 1979In CD-1 mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi, the production of IgM and IgG antibodies in response to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) was significantly suppressed when mice were immunized with SRBC once high parasitaemias had developed. In infected mice which were not immunized with SRBC, background plaque-forming responses of spleen cells to SRBC were ...

Trypanosoma musculi: Passive hemagglutination technique to measure antibody in mice
Experimental Parasitology, 1981Abstract A passive hemagglutination assay was developed to measure Trypanosoma musculi -specific antibody in mice. Indicator-erythrocyte donor mice received 550 rad 60 Co 24 hr before intraperitoneal injection of 3 × 10 4 T. musculi. T. musculi antigen-coated erythrocytes were obtained from these mice on Day 9 postinfection. T.

Trypanosoma musculi: In vitro cultivation of blood forms in cell culture media
International Journal for Parasitology, 1977Abstract Blood forms of Trypanosoma musculi were grown at 37°C in media containing adherent peritoneal cells from normal or from T . musculi immune mice. Rat peritoneal cells and Hela cells supported growth equally well which was surprising in view of the strict mouse-host specificity of this parasite in vivo .
