The Macrophage Galactose-Type Lectin-1 (MGL1) Recognizes Taenia crassiceps Antigens, Triggers Intracellular Signaling, and Is Critical for Resistance to This Infection

MGL1^−/− mice do not efficiently control T. crassiceps infection. (a) Course of i.p. T. crassiceps infection in MGL1^−/−, MGL1^+/+ and BALB/c mice after infection with 20 cysticerci. (b) An independent experiment of the course of i.p. T. crassiceps infection in MGL1^−/− and MGL1^+/+ mice that were similarly infected. Data are expressed as the mean ± SE of 6 mice per group. comparing MGL1^−/− versus MGL1^+/+ at the same time point.
