Susceptibility of TNF-α-deficient mice to Trypanosoma congolense is not due to a defective antibody response
C57BL/6 mice deficient in one or two copies of the gene for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were more susceptible to Trypanosoma congolense infection than their resistant, wild-type counterparts. The number of TNF-α genes was correlated with the capacity to control parasitaemia and with survival...
