Higher frequency of circulating Vδ1 γδT cells in patients with advanced schistosomiasis
Parasite Immunology, Volume 43, Issue 10-11, October/November 2021., 2021 Abstract Gamma‐delta (γδ) T cells are the bridge between natural and adaptive immunity. In the present study, peripheral blood was collected from 13 patients with advanced schistosomiasis (schistosomiasis group) and 13 uninfected people (control group) to investigate the γδ T cells and their subtypes in human schistosomiasis.
