Muscle larval reduction in mice passively receiving mAb 8F12 or <i>T. spiralis</i> infection mice sera.

<p>Each mouse was challenged with 400 <i>T. spiralis</i> larvae. The challenge experiment showed that mice injected with mAb 8F12 or <i>T. spiralis</i> infection mice sera induced 24.6% and 25.6% reduction in muscle larvae burden, respectively, compared to the PBS control group (** <i>p</i>< 0.01). The larvae per gram (LPG) of muscle shown for each group represent the mean value from 6 animals with the standard deviation (one representative experiment of three independent experiments).
