Abstract

Acquired resistance to ticks in guinea pigs has been found to be associated with basophil-rich skin reactions. Mice, which are generally believed to possess few, if any basophils, also acquire resistance following repeated tick infestations and this has been found to be associated with increased numbers of dermal mast cells. Mast cell-deficient W/Wv mice have, however, also been shown capable of acquiring resistance after two infestations with Dermacentor variabilis larvae. In the studies described here, we have examined, with the electron microscope, skin reactions in W/Wv and +/+ mice undergoing their third infestation with Dermacentor variabilis. Basophils, along with neutrophils and eosinophils, were identified using established criteria. The possibility that basophils contribute to various pathogenetic mechanisms in these and other strains of mice is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
