Escalation of Germinal Center Responses in Chronic Litomosoides sigmodontis Filarial Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.
T follicular helper (TFH) cells provide essential help to B cells in germinal centers (GCs). TFH and GC B cell responses are long‐lasting in draining mediastinal lymph nodes of Litomosoides sigmodontis‐infected BALB/c mice, a rodent model of filarial infection. ABSTRACT T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the primary CD4+ T helper cell subset providing

In Vitro Effects of Vanadate Erbium/Silver Oxide (ErVO4/AgO) and Vanadate Iron/Silver Oxide (FeVO4/AgO) Nanoparticles on the Adult of Fasciola hepatica

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Fascioliasis is a common hepatic parasitic disease that is caused by Fasciola, resulting in significant economic losses by reducing production and consigning viscera in animals. Currently, there is little research regarding the impact of chemical compounds on the ultrastructure and motility of adult F. hepatica.
