摘要: Schistosome helminths inflict serious tissue damage by eliciting T helper (Th)-cell-mediated granulomatous inflammation around parasite eggs. The egg granulomas are large in acute disease and smaller chronic disease. To explain this downregulation disease, Miguel Stadecker Pedro Flores Villanueva describe a mechanism whereby CD4+ Th1-type lymphocytes, which associated with the initial vigorous granuloma formation, rendered anergic to subsequent antigenic stimulation. This results reduction of size dominance Th2-type lymphocyte responses.
