Immunization against malaria with a recombinant proteinParasite Immunology - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 63-67 - 1994
Irene T. Ling, Solabomi A. Ogun, Anthony A. Holder
SUMMARYWe have expressed in bacteria the C‐terminal part of Plasmodium yoelii
merozoite surface protein‐1 (MSP1) containing the two epidermal growth
factor‐like domains. The protein, either alone or fused to glutathione
Stransferase, was highly effective as a vaccine and protected mice against
challenge infection. Reduction and alkylation abolished the protection obtained
with the protein. This sh... hiện toàn bộ
Infection with Schistosoma mansoni prevents insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in non‐obese diabetic miceParasite Immunology - Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 169-176 - 1999
Anne Cooke, Paul Tonks, Frances J. Jones, Helen O’Shea, Patricia Hutchings, Anthony J. C. Fulford, David W. Dunne
The spontaneous development of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in non‐obese
diabetic (NOD) mice has been shown to be mediated by a Th1 response against beta
cell antigens. It is known that in murine models of Schistosoma mansoni
infection, egg production is associated with a switch from a Th1 to Th2
response. This subsequent dominance of a Th2 response in S.mansoni infected mice
has been shown... hiện toàn bộ
Unique roles of Schistosoma japonicum protein Sj16 to induce IFN‐γ and IL‐10 producing CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivoParasite Immunology - Tập 34 Số 8-9 - Trang 430-439 - 2012
Xi Sun, R. Li, Ying Zhou, Yang Wang, X. J. LIU, Qiao Lu, Chunlei Zhou, Zhongdao Wu
SummaryVarious proteins are expressed during different stages of schistosome
development that are essential for cercarial penetration of vertebrate skin and
evasion of host immune response. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are important in
modulating immune responses towards helminth infections. Schistosoma japonicum
protein Sj16 present in the secretions of schistosomula has been shown to have
anti‐i... hiện toàn bộ
Schistosomiasis delays lesion resolution during Leishmania major infection by impairing parasite killing by macrophagesParasite Immunology - Tập 24 Số 7 - Trang 339-345 - 2002
Anne Camille La Flamme, Phillip Scott, Edward J. Pearce
Summary Infection of mice with Schistosoma mansoni delays the resolution of
cutaneous lesions and parasitaemia during Leishmania major infection. In
contrast, L. major infection does not appear to alter the course of
schistosomiasis. Analysis of the cytokine responses in the draining lymph nodes
(LN) indicates that, while L. major infection had no effect on
schistosome‐specific interleukin (IL)‐4 ... hiện toàn bộ
Haemonchus contortus intestine: a prominent source of mucosal antigensParasite Immunology - Tập 29 Số 3 - Trang 139-151 - 2007
Douglas P. Jasmer, Kevin K. Lahmers, Wendy C. Brown
SUMMARY We sought to identify antigens from Haemonchus contortus, an abomasal
nematode of small ruminants, that stimulate local (abomasal lymph node, ALN)
CD4+ T lymphocyte responses during a primary infection. Results led to a focus
on antigens from the parasite intestine. The H. contortus intestine proved to be
a major source of antigens that stimulated ALN CD4+, CD25+ T lymphocyte
responses dur... hiện toàn bộ
Protease‐activated receptor 2 contributes to Toxoplasma gondii‐mediated gut inflammationParasite Immunology - Tập 39 Số 11 - 2017
Chrystelle Bonnart, Guylène Feuillet, Virginie Vasseur, Nicolas Cénac, Nathalie Vergnolle, Nicolas Blanchard
SummaryToxoplasma gondii is a widespread intracellular parasite, which naturally
enters the organism via the oral route and crosses the intestinal barrier to
disseminate. In addition to neuronal and ocular pathologies, this pathogen also
causes gut inflammation in a number of animals. This infection‐triggered
inflammation has been extensively studied in the C57BL/6 mice, highlighting the
importanc... hiện toàn bộ
The gut mucosal immune response to Toxoplasma gondiiParasite Immunology - Tập 37 Số 3 - Trang 108-117 - 2015
Sara Cohen, Eric Denkers
SummaryAs an orally acquired pathogen, the immune response to Toxoplasma gondii
unfolds in the small intestinal mucosa. There, an array of regulatory and
effector immune cells are elicited to combat the parasite through secretion of
inflammatory mediators, normally resulting in host protection and pathogen
control. Recent studies largely in mice have found that a productive immune
response require... hiện toàn bộ
Interactions between macrophages and helminthsParasite Immunology - Tập 42 Số 7 - 2020
Gillian Coakley, Nicola Harris
AbstractMacrophages, the major population of tissue‐resident mononuclear
phagocytes, contribute significantly to the immune response during helminth
infection. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) are induced early in the
anti‐helminth response following tissue insult and parasite recognition,
amplifying the early type 2 immune cascade initiated by epithelial cells and
ILC2s, and subsequently... hiện toàn bộ
Schistosoma japonicum egg granuloma formation in the interleukin‐4 or interferon‐γ deficient hostParasite Immunology - Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 271-280 - 2001
M. Hirata, Masayoshi Kage, Tatsuru Hara, Yutaka Yoneda, Mei Zhang, Toshihide Fukuma
The roles of interleukin (IL)‐4 and interferon (IFN)‐γ in Schistosoma japonicum
egg granuloma formation were investigated in cercariae‐infected (infection
model) or after implantation of laid parasite eggs (egg implantation model) in
cytokine deficient mice. Two weeks after hepatic egg‐implantation, a markedly
decreased mononuclear cell infiltration and lack of multinuclear cell formation
were cha... hiện toàn bộ
