Figure 14From: A novel C-type lectin from Trichinella spiralis mediates larval invasion of host intestinal epithelial cells Inhibition of larval invasion of IECs by mannose. After IILs were first incubated with various doses of mannose (0–400 mM mannose) at 37 °C for 2 h, they were added to an IEC monolayer and cocultured for 2 h, and invaded larvae were examined under a microscope. A and B: Mannose (50–400 mM) evidently inhibited the larval invasion of IEC. *P < 0.05 compared to the PBS group.Back to article page
