Summary
With out methods IgM, 7Sγ1 and C3 were detected in the egg-induced liveer granulomata of 8-week infections of CF1 mice bySchistosoma mansoni. It is speculated that, in addition to sequestration of antigens within these lesions by these antibodies, 7Sγ1 may be associated with the Hoeppli phenomenon, and IgM in combination with C3 may be responsible for the ultimate death of tmbryo or miracidium within the egg shell.
