Regulatory T‐cells in helminth infection: induction, function and therapeutic potential

Immunology, Volume 160, Issue 3, Page 248-260, July 2020., 2020
Helminth parasites successfully colonize many niches in the body, and potently manipulate the regulatory T‐cell network in each environment. In particular, qualitative changes to activation markers and increased suppressive function accompany a numerical expansion in both natural and induced Tregs that prolong infection and dampen responses to ...

The immune response of inbred laboratory mice to Litomosoides sigmodontis: A route to discovery in myeloid cell biology

Parasite Immunology, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Litomosoides sigmodontis is the only filarial nematode where the full life cycle, from larval delivery to the skin through to circulating microfilaria, can be completed in immunocompetent laboratory mice. It is thus an invaluable tool for the study of filariasis.
