Gender-dependent specific immune response during chronic humanSchistosomiasis haematobia [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2001 SUMMARYThe cellular and humoral acquired immune responses to Schistosoma haematobium 28 kD gluthathione S-Transferase (Sh28GST) antigen were evaluated in a Senegalese population chronically infected with S. haematobium parasite. We show a gender-dependent immune response in adult individuals presenting similar intensities of infection.
