Schistosoma mansoni: Extramedullar eosinophil myelopoiesis induced by intraperitoneal glass implants in chronically infected mice

Intraperitoneal glass implants in mice with chronic Schistosoma mansoni infections induce intense local myeloid reactions involving essentially myeloid granulocytes. The same phenomenon is not observed in normal mice nor in mice with acute schistosomal infection. An association of myelopoiesis with...

Summary:Intraperitoneal glass implants in mice with chronic Schistosoma mansoni infections induce intense local myeloid reactions involving essentially myeloid granulocytes. The same phenomenon is not observed in normal mice nor in mice with acute schistosomal infection. An association of myelopoiesis with differentiated macrophages mobilized on glass implants and with dense ameboid cells located inside myeloid foci was detected. A macrophage-dependent induction of this eosinophil reaction is postulated.
