Abstract
The periovular granulomatous reaction has been reduced in vivo by an I gM monoclonal antibody. The granulomatous reaction has been obtained e ither in unsensitized, or sensitized as well as immunized mouse. The g ranulomatous reduction could be explained by a decrease in egg viabili ty, owing to the fact that the monoclonal antibody is lethal against a n in vitro miracidium suspension.
