Maintaining the immunological balance in parasitic infections: a role for TGF-beta?

Parasitology today (Personal ed.) - 1 Jan 2000

Omer F M, Kurtzhals J A, Riley E M

Abstract excerpt

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is an important regulator of inflammation, being proinflammatory at low concentrations and anti-inflammatory at high concentrations. As such, TGF-beta might be important in maintaining the balance between control and clearance of infectious organisms on the one hand and prevention of immune-mediated pathology on the other. In this article, Fakhereldin Omer, Jørgen...
