Suppression of inflammatory immune responses in celiac disease by experimental hookworm infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
We present immunological data from two clinical trials where the effect of experimental human hookworm (Necator americanus) infection on the pathology of celiac disease was evaluated. We found that basal production of Interferon- (IFN-)γ and Interleukin-
