Short Communication: Some Observations on the Role of Bradykinin in Immunity to Teladorsagia circumcincta in Sheep

Table 2

Regression equations for the relationship between log₁₀ adult T. circumcincta burden (Tcirc) and the concentrations of bradykinin in the abomasum (BK), numbers of mast cells (MC) and globule leukocytes (GL) in the abomasum, and concentrations of T. circumcincta-specific IgG₁ in plasma (IgG).
