Nonspecific immune responses and mechanisms of resistance to Eimeria papillata infections in mice.

abstract：:Toxin B from Clostridium difficile is cytopathic in vitro for various types of cells, including polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, and monocytes. Since intestine lamina propria is rich in macrophages, we studied the effect of toxin B on human monocytes and on human macrophages generated in vitro by long-term cultur...
