Article Synopsis
- A study compared how levamisole, bacterial fractions of Staphylococcus, and Freund's adjuvant affected the immune response in rats immunized with Trichinella spiralis antigens.
- Immunization led to varying levels of antibody production and cytokine responses, with significant differences observed between the different treatment groups.
- Freund's adjuvant was notably more effective, providing 86% protection against infection compared to 60-70% for levamisole and Staphylococcus, indicating the importance of IFN-γ in the protective immune response.
