CD4+ T-Lymphocytes Are Not Required for Murine Resistance to the Human Filarial Parasite, Brugia malayi

Immunocompetent mice are nonpermissive for the development and maturation of the human filarial parasite, Brugia malayi. We and others have shown that the absence of T-lymphocytes, alone or in combination with B-lymphocytes, renders mice permissive to infection. In a previous study, we showed that m...
