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 ...
