A dose of 0.225 μg/mL of cornelian cherry fruits showed potential to stimulate murine immune response during Trichinella spiralis infection, a causative agent of human trichinellosis, by enhancing the CD3+, CD4+, and erythrocytes cells, promoting platelet aggregation and decreasing CD8+ splenocyte cells when compared to T. spiralis-infected mice that did not receive the extract [131]. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is trichinosis.
