Abstract: Immunohistochemical streptavidin biotin-peroxidase complex method was used to investigate the effect of γ-interferon (IFN-γ) on the hepatic granuloma formation and liver fibrosis in mice infected with Taenia saginata in Duyun area of Guizhou Province. The results reveal contrary relation between the level of IFN-γ in the liver and the degree of liver fibrosis (p<0.01). The injection of IFN-γ considerably decreased (p<0.01) the area and size of granuloma (p<0.01).

Key words: Taenia saginata asiatica, Liver fibrosis, Interferon
