The inhibition or promotion of T. spiralis larval invasion of IEC monolayer by anti-rTsgal serum or rTsgal. A Inhibition of larval invasion of monolayer by anti-rTsgal serum. One hundred larvae were added into medium and then covered the cell monolayer, different dilutions of anti-rTsgal serum, infection serum or normal serum was used in this experiment and the larval invasion rate was observed 2 h after incubation. B The promotion of larvae invasion of IEC monolayer by rTsgal. Different dose of the rTsgal was added into medium, the larval invasion was observed 2 h after cultivation. The larval invasion rate is expressed as the percentages of the larvae penetrated into monolayer and shown as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Significant differences (P < 0.01) were marked with asterisks (*) relative to normal serum group or control group without rTsgal.
