Oral Treatment With Heat Shock Protein 65-Producing Lactococcus lactis Induces Regulatory T Cells, Modulating Inflammatory Response in Leishmania braziliensis Infection. [PDF]

Immunology
Oral treatment with HSP65‐producing Lactococcus lactis after Leishmania braziliensis infection modulates inflammation by promoting lesion resolution through increased IL‐10 production and expansion of regulatory T cells. These findings highlight the potential of oral tolerance induction as a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory ...
