Abstract

Mice infected for one to eight weeks with Trichinella spiralis cleared either 51Cr-labelled sheep red blood cells (SRBC) or I-polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) given intravenously. PVP was cleared more rapidly from the blood of mice infected for one week than from uninfected mice with older infections which behaved in a similar manner to the controls. SRBC were consistently cleared faster from the blood of mice infected for one week than from normal mice. If the infections were older than this a more rapid clearance was also demonstrated as long as the infections were reasonably heavy.
