in order to determine whether the macrophage tumoricidal and larvicidal activation observed in mice as a result of s. mansoni infection are mediated through t cell-dependent ( lymphokine ) or b cell-dependent ( antibody or immune complex ) mechanisms , the development of macrophage populations with cytotoxic activity against schistosome larvae or tumor cells was monitored in s. mansoni-infected nude or mu-suppressed mice .
