Anisakis pegreffii impacts differentiation and function of human dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2018
Human dendritic cells (DCs) show remarkably phenotypic changes when matured in presence of helminth-derived products. These modifications frequently elicited a polarization towards Th2 cells and regulatory T cells thus contributing to immunological ...

Helminth-allergy associations in rural and urban Uganda: insights from antibody studies [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Allergy-related disease (ARD) is a major cause of morbidity in high-income countries (HICs). Although populations in tropical low-income countries (LICs), and in rural (compared to urban) settings, seem to be remarkably protected, the trends are fast changing as these communities undergo an epidemiological transition exemplified by changing

The host immune response to gastrointestinal nematode infection in sheep [PDF]

, 2015
non peer reviewedGastrointestinal nematode infection represents a major threat to the health, welfare and productivity of sheep populations worldwide. Infected lambs have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in

Chronic helminth infection burden differentially affects haematopoietic cell development while ageing selectively impairs adaptive responses to infection [PDF]

, 2018
Throughout the lifespan of an individual, the immune system undergoes complex changes while facing novel and chronic infections. Helminths, which infect over one billion people and impose heavy livestock productivity losses, typically cause chronic ...

IgG4 autoantibodies and autoantigens in the context of IgG4-autoimmune disease and IgG4-related disease

Frontiers in Immunology
Immunoglobulins are an essential part of the humoral immune response. IgG4 antibodies are the least prevalent subclass and have unique structural and functional properties. In this review, we discuss IgG4 class switch and B cell production. We review the

Antibody isotype analysis of malaria-nematode co-infection: problems and solutions associated with cross-reactivity

BMC Immunology, 2010
Background Antibody isotype responses can be useful as indicators of immune bias during infection. In studies of parasite co-infection however, interpretation of immune bias is complicated by the occurrence of cross-reactive antibodies.
