Human dendritic cell sequestration onto the Necator americanus larval sheath during ex-sheathing: a possible mechanism for immune privilege [PDF]

, 2018
Despite the profound health implications of Necator americanus (N. americanus) infection in humans, many aspects of its interaction with the host immune system are poorly understood. Here we investigated the early events at the interface of N. americanus

Basophil Competence during Hookworm (Necator americanus) Infection [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
A popular hypothesis to explain parasite survival in the presence of a pronounced T helper 2 phenotype in helminth-parasitized populations has been FcϵRI blockade by parasite-induced polyclonal IgE. To begin to test the hypothesis that FcϵRI-bearing cells would be refractory to activation in parasitized populations, we investigated basophil function in
