Trypanosomiasis cruzi: a follow-up study of tissue reacting immunoglobulins in infected purebred pinscher dogs

[摘要] Antibodies against striated muscle (cardiac and skeletal) were studied in serum samples from 36 purebred prepubertal Pinscher dogs (15 Controls without infection and 21 infected with Trypanosoma cruzi from 7 to 400 days after infection with 1000 trypomastigotes/gram body weight of the Colombiana strain by the intraperitoneal route). Although three different immunohistological pattems of tissue-reacting immunoglobulins were found their presence was not correlated with any peculiar characteristics or with the severity of the disease in each particular dog.
