摘要
We demonstrate here that a second mechanism of platelet activation dependent on lymphokine could also take place in the expression of platelet cytotoxicity against Schistosoma mansoni in vitro. Indeed, IgE, as previously described, but also IFN-γ, present in the sera of infected rats, together induce platelets from normal rats into cytotoxic effectors for the parasitic larvae. This second mechanism appears also effective in vivo since the passive transfer of normal platelets treated by recombinant IFN-γ (rIFN-γ) and the administration of rIFN-γ to rats conferred a protective immunity to S. mansoni. © 1990.
