Neutrophil infiltration into the gut mucosa during colonization and post-clearance phases in Giardia -infected mice. (A) High numbers of neutrophils (arrows) were noted in the lamina propria of Giardia-infected mouse jejunum samples (b, d) compared to saline controls (a, c) on PI days 7 and 35. Enlarged images are shown in the bottom panels (e, f, g, h). (B) Quantification results demonstrate increased numbers of mucosal neutrophils in infected mice compared with saline controls on PI days 7 and 35. (C) Increased levels of MPO activity were observed in the small intestines of infected mice compared with saline controls on PI days 7 and 35. n = 6–8/group. *P < 0.05 vs. PBS.
