the reduction in larval infectivity caused by neutrophils in the presence of fresh normal mouse serum ( nms ) was only marginally less than that obtained using immune mouse serum ( ims ) , suggesting that complement , which is activated by the larvae via the alternative pathway and mediates the adherence of both cell types , was able to promote the larvicidal effect of these cells in vitro .
